[Opinions] Síofra and Éala
Two Irish names.
Síofra is well established, pronounced SHEE-fra and it means "elf, sprite".
Éala is modern, it is based on eala which means "swan" but the word is spelled without the fada and pronounced differently. The name sounds like EH-la.

I want to like them but I'm not there yet.
I like Síofra
I like Síofra very much. It reminds me of the Polish word szyfr, meaning cipher.
Éala just blends into the Ella/Elle/Ellie crowd. Cool meaning, though.
