Well "Ayn" is actually correctly pronounced Eye-n (though most often mispronounced as aye-n)...ask me how I know LOL its actually my middle name ;)

Yep the spelling is firm on Aine...have you seen my sons name LOL!! It is the Irish variation on the name. DH and I feel strongly about picking names with some cultural significance so if I had an Eastern European ancestry I would probably go with Anja...but I don't so Aine is more appropriate IMO (and today DH agreed that Aeia ... as pretty as it is isn't really appropriate since it is actually a greek name and last time I looked at our family tree it was pretty greek free LOL!
We have officially decided on our baby names :D
Aine Beatrix Jane or Graeme Angus John (mn are family names BTW)
Thanks to everyone for voting!

Rhys, Niamh, Isla and Deirdre!Anyway...I love the name.
Actually Áine is an Irish spelling of the name...since both DH and I have Irish ancestry it makes more sense to choose a spelling that works with our family history. The spelling Anya is actually a slavic spelling so it would not make any sense for us to use that spelling.
I don't think from looking at my sons name that the pronunciation "reese" springs to mind and yet that is exactly how it is pronounced (his is a Welsh name BTW).
