Aine sounds like a fiercely independent dweller of a mountain valley who loves to read and make up stories. Over hills and mountains of beautiful song, Aine is a marvelous stone that is more valuable inside than out. It shines with otherworldly light and tastes almost like vanilla. Of the most beautiful names in the world, Aine is a bit more common, but that doesn't subtract from its grace and elegance in the least. Extraordinary!

Glorious! I picture an Áine riding in on a gleaming white unicorn from over the hills and far away... So beyond fancy and royal.

This is actually my middle name, but when I was younger, I wished it was my given name. My mother added her own twist though (my sisters and I all have 'weird' names), she spelled it 'Ayne'. I was glad not to be Ann/Anne, not that I have anything against the name (!) except there were several girls in my grade with the middle name 'Ann/Anne, and I liked being different. And we've always pronounced it with a hard A, like 'GAIN' without the G, if that makes sense. Loved the name until boys my age found the similarity between it and the name of a certain body part and teased me mercilessly about it. Other than that, still love it.

I like Aine as it sounds (I pronounce it AWN-yah although don't know for sure if it should be pronounced this way). Its sound is just beautiful. I like the connection with the Celtic goddess, I love Celtic names, its meaning and that it may also be the Irish form of Anna. I associate it with Aine Minogue who I think is the best harpist, has such a soothing voice and an absolutely delightful Irish accent. The one thing that I slightly don't like about Aine is how it looks. I think the way it's pronounced makes it very rich in sound so it looks a bit too simple written down for me.

I know a toddler by this name and spelling; her parents pronounce the name as "AHN-ya", a slight emphasis on the first syllable. The name seems to correspond by ear to the Russian diminutive name Anya.

I love this name and it's not even mine! So pleasantly short and yet throws people off on the pronunciation. I know I was! I love names that only you know how to spell and write (poor kids, they most have had a hard time at school correcting the teachers 20 times a day!) But it's so soft and rolls off your tongue. For all those who bear this name be proud!

The name is pronounced by Jean Butler in the best of Riverdance as Onya, when talking about Aine Ui Cheallaigh. I'm sure she'd have been told the correct way to pronounce it so I think Onya is right.
