Aoife for a girl?

[Jennifer8787]

My partner and I were born and raised and currently living in the UK. We both really like the name Aoife (pronounced Ee-fa) which is an irish name and we are thinking of using this name if we have a daughter in the future.

The only thing is, neither of us are Irish, nor do we have Irish heritage!

I'm wondering if it would be too random of us to call our child this given these circumstances. I'm really interested in other people's opinions on this!

Absolutely love it but VERY biased Mine never gets called anything but her name (often mispronounced the first time but after that people can say it) I have only ever had positive feedback on her name.

Beautiful choice of name

I know an Aoife, sister is Kira. She suits her name very well and i think it's beautiful. Parents are Irish. Some pronounciation issues and one teacher called her Aoifa for a whole year but is mainly fine.

Is there a danger that Aoife will become like Deirdre or Kevin?
