Irish names

[Grizzer]

Dh is Irish & wants our baby to have an Irish name. Trouble is we live in London so the poor child will always have to spell it or help people pronounce it. DD is Ciara (Keira) which is fairly simple but she still has to spell it for people & gets called Ci ar a (as in tiara) all the time.
We don't know if we're having a boy or a girl but dh likes Aiofe!! (eefa). I like the name but no one will ever be able to spell it or pronounce it.
Do you think it's too Irish for a child living in England?

I love declan! Would you believe I work with 5 of them and they are all great men. Perfect choice, I would pick it myself only for all the gossip it would cause heehee.
Lovely, well done. All we need now is a photo ! Ah go on go on.....

I meant to say there are 800 people working there so there's about 300 Michaels etc. So it's still fairly unusual but totally great!

I'm Irish with a French name (which us Irish ignore and just pronounce our own way).
London, being so multi-cultural, requires EVERY name to be spelled. So many languages.

Aoife is a lovely name btw. Roisín or Eileen are also lovely Irish names. (which I may have considered for dd ;) )
