Aoife (pronounced EE-fa), an Irish name meaning beauty/beautiful.

Heard it recently at my job.

I adore it, and I have since I first heard it. I'd use it.

Absolutely LOVE it. My coworker had a baby in February and she named her Aoife Patricia. (Her husband is 100% Irish).

I can never remeber how to pronounce these Irish and Gaelic spellings, so I'd never use it. It doesn't really pass the resume test.
I do like the way it sounds, though.

It's one of those names that I don't like the look OR sound of. :-\

It sounds pretty but I NEVER would have gotten that pronunciation out of it, so not my style at all!

I'm not really a fan, but then again, I also don't like Eva. It's not bad, just not my style!

I love Irish names, but not that one. I just don't like the sound of it very much.

Unpleasant sound, pronunciation bomb... nothing to recommend it to me, sorry.

I don't like how it looks, and I don't like how it sounds.

The way it looks is interesting, but I really dislike the way it sounds.
Also, most people won't know how to pronounce it.

I NEVER remember how to pronounce that name, despite having been told dozens of times already on this comm! ^^;;

Dislike everything about it. Horrid.
