We don't know what we're having!

DH is Irish and would really like an Irish name. Aoife is my standout favourite, but then some of my other likes (Charlotte, Helen, Rose) don't match.

I like old fashioned Irish uncle names (James, Joseph, Vincent), but not sure if they match Aoife... Other boys' contenders are Aidan, Conn and Eoghan.

Aoife and Ursula just go really well in my head - don't know why!

Ursula always reminds me of Ulcer 🙈

Aoife and Naoise - not used for males and females so you only need one name.

'now used' that

Love Aoife and Maeve - they are both brilliant names and sound great together (and nice links to Irish mythology)

for boys, Patrick, Cormac, Cillian, Malachy, Angus, Fergus? Or maybe a name from Irish mythology too?

rollerblind · 08/03/2023 22:56

Aoife and Orla

Hankthehonk · 08/03/2023 22:44

I love Maeve with Aoife (or Meadhbh)
For boys, our top name is Flynn, that goes well with Aoife
Or I do think the names you like - Joseph, James - are absolutely fine with aoife as well
