Help[Opinions] Re: Aoife
in reply to a message by vigdis
It's not my favourite Irish name, I prefer Aoibhe (EE-vah) and also Caoimhe (KEE-vah), I find I am in the same prediciment. My surname begins with Mc and does sound Irish/Scottish, however I've got no connection to the culture and think that maybe it would be strange to have a Caoimhe in a sibset wih Melody and Georgina (my top two girls names)

I think Melody, Georgina, and Caoimhe sounds like a good sibset. I think each 'pair' of names (Melody & Georgina, Georgina & Caoimhe, and Melody & Caoimhe) all go together well and in about the same way. (Sibsets sound weird when one pair goes together better than the others, but I don't think that's the case with this one.)

Melody, Georgina and Aoife would be terrific together. The Mc at the beginning of the surname puts them all under the same Gaelic umbrella. And Georgina has always sounded very Irish to me for some reason. I don't mean in origin, but it seems it would be very popular there. Georgina and Caroline both. I don't know why. Irish melodies are lovely. So the three (Melody, Georgina and Aoife) absolutely blend nicely in my mind.
Then again, I'm an Aoife fanatic, so caveat emptor. :-)

What about Ifa. That might be mispronounced "Eye-fa," which is AWESOME.
