So you think people will have problems pronouncing “Tove”? My older sister’s name is Siobhan.

I suggested that for our youngest daughter. My husband mixed it as no one would ever be able to pronounce it. Rejected Aine ( Awn-ya) for the same reason. I’m sure our little Ruari will have no problems;-).

Siobhan is a beautiful Irish name. The Irish have some wonderful female names. One of my second cousins is named Aylish and she is an Irish beauty. I also love the Welsh name Myfawnwy. These are great names with a wonderful cultural history. Not the mispelled names of the modern times. :)
