HelpRe: Eilidh
in reply to a message by E.Tracy
Eilidh is a tough one. It is so pretty, and so doomed to be mispronounced in the U.S. I agree that Aylee and Ayleigh butcher it and rob it of all its character, but I don't think Ailidh would make the pronunciation any clearer. If the name is worth the hassle, it's best just to stick with Eilidh.
Killian and Eilidh are terrific for a brother and sister.

I am sadly coming to the realization that either way it will be doomed. I do think it is beautiful and it really works well with Killian it has a similar characteristic while both being very individual and unique

If you like it, use it. I have several friends with spellings that don't match the pronunciation including one named Caoimhe. They don't have many problems. Usually they have great conversations about their names. People who will care about her will learn how to spell it and the others won't really matter. She'll have to spell it out a few names but it won't be that bad.
