Just come across Aoise, never seen it before. Apparently it is pronounced "ee-sha". Does anyone know is this actually an irish name? Can't seem to find it on the irish name websites.

I wouldn't know that it was made up, but I would think that unless you are in Ireland you would have an awful lot of people not knowing how to spell/pronounce it - not that that's necessarily a reason not to use it if you love it

that's what i thought. I googled it and someone said it was swahili or something but they changed the spelling to make it sound irish?
But there is some bloke from sinn fein (sp) who has called his baby that saying it is irish??
Will continue to research...
If you saw Aoise would you think "made up" or ok?

Also heard of Laoise - pronounced Leesha

I'm Irish and living in Ireland. Have to admit I have never heard of Aoise. There is a name Naoise pronounced Neesha.

I've heard of Aoife (Eee-fa), that's definitely Irish - I wanted to use it for DD but DH vetoed it

Not heard of Aoise
