Help[Opinions] Aoife or Aoibhe
Which do you prefer; Aoife or Aoibhe?
Aoife used to be my favourite name...until I opened my eyes and saw that if a ever had a daughter and called her that, she'd be Aoife F for all her school life. Aoife really is a very popular name in Ireland. And it sounds like the German pronunciation of Eva, so people might think of Eva Braun, Hitler's mistress. :(
I thought of Aoibhe as a beautiful alternative; it's simple, pretty and not incredibly popular, but it sounds so similar to Eva and Ava, that it might be constantly mistaken for those names. Good points; Aoibhe sounds like many positive words in Irish including "lovely".
WDYT?
