Is Aoife too Irish for England?

Are people going to know what her name is/ every be able to spell it/ pronounce it? I really like it, and would love it. We have a middle name we think will go nicely too. We live in NW England. I have Irish heritage, and also generally love Irish names.

DS has a less common name, which I don't think is too difficult to spell, but we are always having to spell that/ explain it etc.

I'm in Scotland and have met two little Aoifes.

I love the name but I think the spelling and pronunciation will stump lots of people

I wouldn't know how to pronounce it. Sorry. Sad
