No one has left a comment yet on how Aoibhe is pronounced. I am guessing that the bh has a V sound, but I don't know about the Aoi part. Is it just pronounced E? Is the e at the end of the name silent?

Thank you so much for any help! : -)

Well, given that Aoife is pronounced EE-fa and Aoibheann is EE-van, I'd say there's a very strong likelihood that Aoibhe is EE-va. That would tie in with the database note that the name is sometimes used as an Irish form of Eve.

Thank you, that is what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure. : )
