Aoibhinn and Siobhan go nicely together. Niamh is really cute, but I think it sounds too similar to Aoibhinn. I don’t know how to pronounce Sinead. Good luck!

Do you have any Gaelic heritage? Because I’m an Irish woman, fluent in the language and I can tell you that Aoibhinn is pronounced EE-veen, not A-veen. "Aoi" is pronounced as EE in the Irish language.

And how are you planning on pronouncing Sinead, Siobhan and Niamh?

Sinéad = Shin-AY-d
Síobhán = Shiv-AWN
Niamh = Nee-uhv

I love the name Saoirse! I do have Irish heritage but the poor kid would have a time here in the US. The 3 names you listed though seem more common even with the proper Gaelic spelling. Good Luck!
