I've bought my lovely colleague's kids Christmas gifts. But I've forgotten her daughter's name.
It's definitely an Irish name. Little girl is 7.
When I hear it I'll remember.
Thank you!

I think it's said "Ava or Eva" or similar.

TheFormidableMrsC · 21/12/2024 18:04

So difficult with Irish names. I would absolutely go via the "check the spelling" route.

Rosecoffeecup · 21/12/2024 18:52

Does she have Facebook or insta? I'd be going through her accounts with a fine toothcomb incase someone's mentioned it in a comment

Aine pronounced like on-ya?
