Hi Meriel,I was just looking up historical references to my name and stumbed across this website. Aoife is a Celtic name and as Norah said it was often Anglicized to Eve, Eva, Ava even.
I'm living in the US now and my name causes me a lot of problems
too many vowels!Aoife.

Hi Aoife,
My name is Aoife as well. I noticed a mug that is in my cupboard that had the celtic meaning to my sisters name (Niamh) and I wondered what my name meant. I live in the US as well and my name has given me many annoying nicknames, and vowel girl is one of them.
