Disaster - I need a new girl's name!

134 replies

The name I had tucked away as my favourite for 2nd DD has been flagrantly stolen by my cousin, so now I can't use it!

(I'm just kidding, it's not a disaster, and you can't "steal" a name, I know!)

DD is Orla, and something with an Irish feel would be lovely, due to family background. Also want to avoid a "sh" sound due to surname, and no "n"s for the same reason.

Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

How do you pronounce Aoife (out of interest).

Is it A-oof?
