HelpRe: WHY does no one know how to pronounce my name
in reply to a message by aoife
Well, your name is not spelled phonetically, so it is not surprising that people can't pronounce it.
Unfortunately, people will often assume that a name is pronounced the way it is spelled. In your case, Aoife looks like it should be said "ay-oh-fee", so if someone is not familiar with it, that's what they'll go with.
Incidentally, I live in England and would know how to pronounce Aoife - I think it's a beautiful name.
