Síofra

My daughter's middle name. We love it and even considered using it as her first name!

We say it as SHEEFruh.

This name sounds similar to the Biblical Shiphrah, which means "beautiful" I think. I like the name Siofra as well.

Magical and fairy tale like.

I love this name, it's so pretty!

I never heard of this before. I like it.

Wow, this is really pretty! I like the spelling and aesthetic of the name.

Even though it's not related, it seems to look like an Irish form of Sofia.

The protagonist in my first novel "Square Wheels" is fourteen year old Siofra Conor.

Reminds me of both Santa Claus and Elrond, probably because it means 'elf'. I used it for a cat in a story; she's shy, rather timid, and very good at sports. It's probably because of the character I made up that this name also puts me in mind of the Pogues song "Wild Cats of Kilkenny".

I don't think anyone with this name should be upset that they have this name. If it isn't common, then that means you have more of a chance to shine! And while I was never really picked on because of my name, so I can't relate entirely, if people do pick on you because of your name, they are best ignored. Those types of people you shouldn't want as your friends anyway.

I believe Siofra looks and sounds really cool though! :)

My name is Siofra and it means Queen of the Fairy (from an old Irish tale). Hate it, wish I had a common name, people think it's a weird name, was teased all through school with it.

No offense to any ladies with the name, but my 8 year old cat is Siofra. Everyone thinks it is the most unusual name. I had no idea that there were people with the name when I chose it! When I did, it was because the meaning listed was "little elf". The pronunciation is "SHEEfra".

Witch, fairy, imp or otherwise, it's still a gorgeous name! I wish I had that name and not such a common one.

This is such a lovely name. I wish it were mine instead of Nora.
