Love (m)
I love Eileen! I try to love Aileen, but it's not quite as loveable. I pronounce both EYE-LEEN, but I think Aileen would be mispronounced constantly. Aileen would be better for me both because of Scottish heritage and because I wanted to avoid my children having the same first initials, and I already have one E. I think my husband thinks it is very old ladyish... but it would so uncommon and fresh to have a little Eileen/Aileen.Aileen Dorothea would be the combo.
Do you know the song, Eileen Og? Look it up, should make anyone love the name. Love Irish music.

Is Aileen the Scottish version? I was wondering about that because Aileen made the Scottish top 100 and Eileen did not. On this site it is simply listed as a variant spelling.Thanks for the recommendation!
