Re: Meaning of "Aoife"
The information about "The Children of Lir" is slightly inaccurate. Aoife was, in fact, the name of the stepmother who turned Lir's children into swans. People always ask me where my name came from, and I always tell them about that myth. I like to think I'm a nicer person than she...!!

Aoife actualy comes from the irish name Aoibhann which is pronounced
EVEN. People think it comes from Eve or Eva but it doesn't. it means 'of radiant beauty'.
