As an english person, I would pronounce Aileen as Eileen. I’m pretty sure Ailís is AY-lish. I think Aisling has a few pronunciations: Ash-ling, Ashlin, Ashleen and there could be more. According to btn, there isn’t much difference between Aoibheann and Aoibhinn / Aoibhin. Aoibheann is pronounced EE-vAHn (similar to Evan). And Aoibhinn is pronounced EE-vEEn (so not much difference there). Eilidh is probably pronounced AY-lee, but in an irish accent it may sound like EH-lee. I might update this post in a few days so I can ask my nan how she pronounces these and post it on here (she is irish). I was thinking about irish names today too; they are really interesting!
