Hey everyone,
I just wanted to pop a thread on here to share that I've changed the spelling of my name.
My parents decided to take the 'o' out of my name as they thought it would be easier to recognise and spell as 'Aife' but all through my life I've been called lots of funny names ... Ayf, Efe, Alfie and even Ivy once!
I really like the original Irish spelling of my name which is 'Aoife' so I'm going to start using this spelling of my name. It's also much easier to recognise now as it's more well known now
So nice to meet you all, my name is Aoife!
Oh and if you're wondering how to pronounce my name, you say ee-fa! (like fifa but with an 'ee' sound)

Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

Yahooo, I always wondered why there was a missing O 🤔
It’s so funny how people try and pronounce Irish names 🤣 but I I like the name Aoife!! It’s very Irish , like my name 😀
Yes I don't know why my parents decided to take it out haa! It actually made it more complicated aha!
Lol I assumed that was just typo when you said your name like that on PMs earlier.
Hopefully it likes the new spelling!
Want to hurt me… go ahead
Wish to bully me…I’m used to it
Want to talk crap about me…go on then
Want to make me cry…feel free
There will definitely still be that!

Embrace the Irish-ness of our names 😂
It's definitely taking time to get used to, I keep needing to correct my spelling for my new name now!
Also ella doesn't have a spotlight on the staff page 🤣 poor ella 😝
Good shout Toe I have updated that now for us!!
Also yes we usually get staff onto the staff page of The Mix after 3 months of them being with us but @ella's time here has flown by, it's been like 6 months now!!
But I have to say the meet the team website does need some love, there's some people on there who have now left and some people who've been here for a while are not on there
No way its been 6 months Hehe ella didnt get scared off by us
Ahahah defo something for the to do list then aha
