I adore the name
Caoimhe. We used it for my dog, because of it's lovely meaning- her full name is
Caoimhe Tigerlily, but we just call her
Lily. I love the sound, the meaning, and the look. It's a gorgeous name.
Yes, there will be spelling and pronounciation issues, but people will get used to it. There's a
Saoirse in
Ella's class and she manages just fine. She also has a
Caoimhe, a
Niamh and an
Aoife at
her school. This is in Australia. People can mess up just about any name so I don't think thats a good enough reason to avoid it. I grew up always having to spell and pronounce my name for people, and I survived just fine :)
It's a great name. I say go for it.
