Sorry about (sort of) infodumping here but something inside me does everytime the name of fives mother is spelled Efa instead of Aoife. I know that's how it's spelled in the show but it still irks me so much

I know Efa is easier to understand for americans but the world doesn't revovle around america y'know? If someone can't understand that a name from a different country could be spelled differend than how they would spell it than I'm sorry to say this but the might just be a bit dumb. It isn't hard to look up how to pronounce something. (Sorry if this seems a bit mean I've just met so many people who think Ireland is like mini-england or smthn when it really isn't)

Her name actually being spelled Efa just feels so unrealistic to me bc no actual Irish person in their right mind would ever spell it like that 😭

Hi! No worries lol

I also thought it was a bit odd but "Efa", for what it's worth, also isn't a name that I've ever seen before as an American. From my understanding, Aoife is the Irish equivalent of Eva, but Efa is the Welsh equivalent. Perhaps Efa has some Welsh relatives?

But like I said, I'm neither Irish nor Welsh so take that how you will. I have no idea how common or uncommon it is as a name in either country. Maybe an Irish or Welsh follower can chime in with more info?
