The name is Ailis/Eilis (pronunciation is Aye-lish regardless of spelling....) I am on the fence...mostly because I also like the name Aine (pro: Anya) and if I use the Eilis spelling then I can still you Aine in the future LOL (we have a strict no aliteration policy in our house).

Rhys, Niamh, Isla and Deirdre!This is my problem exactly, except we've already used Aine, LOL! We love Eilis, but dh prefers "Eye-lish" and I'm sort of leaning toward "Aye-lish" (both are correct, it's just a difference in dialect). I do love Eila (Eye-la) as a nick, though!
I'm leaning toward the Eilis spelling, myself!
