Even in Ireland people still struggle with Aoife! I'm sure you've encountered a bit of that yourself with your name (I have a friend Sinead who constantly gets called Sin Head ).
I think it's a lovely name though and I much prefer it to Alexandra.
I have to say I agree, for the kids sake. If a majority of the population would struggle, she'd have a hard time. Spelling mistakes on her documents, having to explain all the time, people saying it wrong, its both annoying and can dent a persons sense of identity, and really I think outside the small island of Ireland not many people could pronounce that without help at all
