Reminded me of the following..
what do you call an Irish woman with only one leg ? Eileen
what do you call an Irish woman with no legs ? Noleen.

Eileen and Aileen come from the same Irish root name of Eibhlín which can be pronounced either like Ev-leen or Ei-leen . and is a name brought to Ireland by the Normans and originally an old Germanic name. Translated from the Irish it becomes Eileen, Aileen, Helen, Eveleen, Ellen, Nell, Nellie Ella..

I'd spell it Eileen, unless told otherwise.

If you want to see variable spellings and pronounciation of your name, try being Susannah. Random 'z's all over the place...

With your ukelele Arch you have plenty of experience..."Eileen in on the lampost at the corner of the street..."

As a matter of fact, I can play that... Although I believe George Formby actually played the banjolele, not the uke...
