Please can you help me with a middle name for Aoife.

At the moment we have Aoife Rose. It's pretty and goes with our short surname but can it be beaten?

Nothing too long or too traditional (Charlotte/ Elizabeth).

Thank you!

Is your surname Irish? Just to get a feel
for what will ‘go’.

Grumpbum123 · 14/09/2020 17:54

Rose was the first name that came into my head!

Ellmau · 14/09/2020 17:56

Aiofe Rose is lovely.

lemorella · 14/09/2020 18:10

Surname is a short English name.

I like Aoife May and Aoife Jane.

Caaarrrl · 14/09/2020 18:32

How is it pronounced? I can never remember with that name!

Aoife May is nice, actually. Best one so far.

Or Aoife Mara if you want to be quirkier. Mara is Irish for something from the ocean.

NellyJames · 14/09/2020 18:44

Oh and I also really like Aoife Jean. That flies so well. So either Aoife May or Aoife Jean. There! Grin

Wren

DianasLasso · 14/09/2020 18:48

Slight variation on one upthread - Aoife Beatrice.

For some reason (specially if the surname is short), three syllables feels right to me, and not ending in a vowel or it starts to sound a bit like bad doggrel verse.

Aoife Rosalind (or Aoife Roisin if you wanted both names to be Irish)
Aoife Eleanor
Aoife Katherine

Aoife Maeve

Itsatoughgig · 14/09/2020 19:12

Another vote for May

Snog · 14/09/2020 19:14

Maeve is very cool like in Westworld

lemorella · 14/09/2020 19:16

Thank you all so far.

I love Maeve and Wren but my partner has noped them both Confused

I have a real aversion to May...I don't know why because it's so pretty.

Aoife Marie
Aoife Rosa

CloudyGladys · 14/09/2020 19:21

A name that begins with a consonant and doesn’t end in /a/ would work

Aoife Marie
Aoife Jane/ Jayne
Aoife Louise
Aoife Bernadette
Aoife Florence
Aoife Siobhan

Beware of Aoife Emily (E for Emily) type combinations.

Aerielview · 15/09/2020 11:05

Aoife Niamh

mummy2myJJ · 15/09/2020 11:25

Loooove the name Aoife!
Aoife Rose
Aoife Belle
Aoife Lily
Aoife Joy

lemorella · 15/09/2020 13:42

Love Florence, Belle and Joy...

I really love Ivy but it just doesn't flow to me.

Joy has now became a front runner.....
