Is Aoife O'Neill too vowelly?

[mrsoneill]

I love Aoife but I just don't think it goes with the O'.

I like it..its not too vowelly when spoken

I think it sounds lovely

Very common irish first and surname

I actually know 2 aoife o,Neil's 😀

Sounds lovely ❤️

Common in Ireland

Ooooh okay. Maybe then!

I'm just not sure what else I like. I did like Maeve but my bf's baby will be Maeve. DH likes Niamh and I do like the two 'n's.

Not Irish but much prefer Aoife to Niamh with your surname.

It's fine.

The only thing that would bother me is that it's a very generic combination as Aoife was so popular in Ireland and there'll probably be lots.

I like Aoife but if you choose it I would go for a more unusual middle name.

It's sort of like Emma Smith or Lisa Miller or something.

We're actually in Liverpool so I'm not worried about pronunciation or anything, but I don't think it'd be as common. We just don't want anything already in the close family or our friendship group.

I like it

I think it works well.when spoken.

Aoibhinn
Aisling
Saorlaith
Fiadh

How do you pronounce it?

No! It works beautifully.

It's perfectly fine. I'm in Ireland and I know a couple of them. It's a nice combination.

@CircleofWillis Aoife is pronounced EE-fah.

I would pronounce it A-ou-fee... It's that not right?

@SantaOnFanta no! See my post above yours, it's an Irish language name and pronounced EE-fah.

I think it is lovely, although Niamh is also lovely!

Thank you! I wouldn't have guessed that at all.

I love Erin for an Irish girl name but Aoife O'Neill is absolutely fine!

I think it's a lovely name. There's a natural pause when you say it out loud between the fa sound of Aoife and the O sound. I think it's a classic Irish name too, it won't date.

Not even close! Ee-fah

Aoife is fine with your surname but Niamh O'Neil is really hard to say. I do love Niamh as a name. But not as much as Aoife..

I actually love it. But then I love the name Aoife
I like Niamh as well, especially when my Irish friend says it. But I don't think it sounds as nice as Aoife with your surname.

I think it sounds lovely together.
