Thoughts? To go with DS Rory.
I have posted before about Ciara. We are still considering Ciara but I'm really liking this. Potential nickname could be Aily.
Living in UK, half Irish baby.
Thanks!

I love it

I’ve only known one (Irish family but not living in Ireland) but it’s a lovely name. While you might need to explain how to spell or pronounce it at first, once you know it’s not hard.

Mostly positive then, that's good.

IHave i love the name Eilidh but I know the pronunciation would be difficult over here. I feel like Ailish as an acceptable spelling whilst being fairly phonetic and I can still use Aily as a nickname.

Dd's best friend is an Ailish (she's Scottish) and utterly beautiful. I love the name.

I like it, easy to pronounce and could have some nice nicknames.
