Twins- Aoife and _________

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.

Don’t like Aoife and Maeve either, don’t think it flows well.

Aoife and Erin. Or Aoife and Meabh

I love maeve but Aoife and Maeve looks wrong. Aoife and Meadhbh looks better, hence suggestion to pick Tara!!

If it’s a boy, I’d go with Donnacha. (Though people probably would find it too difficult to pronounce outside of Ireland(.
if a girl, I’d go with Caoimhe.

Aoife and Séamus

I love the name Maeve (might be biased 😉). Getting very popular in England and Wales now which I have to say I find a bit irritating 😳

Bellabon · 08/03/2023 21:18

Aoife & Mollie
