   Slow

Eee-fa

Aoife. All people see is "vowels ah that's scary!" So let's break it down!
Ao = these two letters together are what make the "ee" sound.
i = when I follows two vowels next to each other, it is called a "slender glide vowel." essentially this just makes a quick "y" sound. Really we are confirming we want to say "ee" with this i here.
f = essentially our regular f sound.
e = no fada, so short sound like "eh"

This boils down to EEF-eh/EEF-uh
