My former boss used it a lot for difficult Irish names (Aoife, Niamh, even Siobhan which I thought the Brits had a handle on by now).

Correct, first one is Neev or Nieve (as is believe) and the third is more She-vawn.

How about Caoimhín, Aoibheann, or Eoghan?

Good try and Owen is correct. Eoghan and Seán are the Gaelic equivalents of John. First two are more Qwee-veen and Eh-veen (or A-veen).

I'm taking that as a win. Even though my name is Paddy.

Niamh is one I've struggled on in the past. Weirdly even after I found out it rhymed with leave (thanks to a kid's book)

Our one-and-only granddaughter who is English born and bred has the name Aoife, I'd imagine that was her father's choice.  I went with her mother when she was registered in Dudley.  When DIL told the registrar her name, said registrar looked quizzically at her and said 'what kind of a name is that?. DIL replied 'Irish', the registrar then asked how was it spelt? She was told and then said 'i've never heard that in my life'.

That's a good way of explaining it, one to remember for future reference.

Aoife is lovely name meaning beauty as is Cliodhna (Kleena) but my favourite is probably Sorcha.

Despite my ancestry, Irish is a ridiculous language.

Beautiful names. I particularly love the name Roisin.

Sounds like how a Brummie would pronounce raisen.
