I love all three of these names, but especially
Aoife. I guess she will have to explain pronunciation to people, but it's such a pretty name, it's worth it, in my opinion. Sophia is the most straightfoward name in terms of spelling and pronunciation, and it is lovely, but does seem to be getting really popular.

Niamh is my favourite of those. I still can't pronounce Aofie.
