Does Aoife 'go' with Esther and Henry?

Name changed for this as I'm revealing my children's names.

I have an Esther and a Henry, both traditional. We love the name Aoife but we're not Irish and not sure it 'goes' with the other two names?

Advice would be appreciated!

I think Alice goes better. Love Esther by the way.

Love Alice too. Would probably go for that over Aoife in your position, especially if the Irish comments would bother you.

I think the fact that it is an Irish name is what is holding us back the most, I don't want it to be 'odd' that we've used it despite no Irish connections.

Alice is the other name we're considering!

I thought no at first but saying them out loud is quite pleasing to the ear.

I suppose the only thing is she might feel hard done by with her siblings' easy to pronounce and spell names. Or they might think "why is she so special as to get a fancy name".

But I dunno. It's a lovely name.

I don't think it "goes", no. Is it important that it does though?

TheLegendOfBeans · 21/08/2017 15:36

Yes it does.

BUT expect questions such as "so which one of you has the Irish connection"?

I don't think it does to be honest.
