Ay-fin. The database has it that Aodh can be pronounced as EE but I have only ever heard A or Ay.

EE might just be Scottish, as the surname McKee (son of Aodh) is a Scottish variant http://www.ancestry.com/facts/mckee-family-history.ashx

Since no one else has answered you, I'll take an educated guess and say it's pronounced EE-fin, but it could be AY-fin too.
