The spelling of the word "Ainslaeigh" may seem unusual, but it follows the rules of Irish Gaelic phonetics. In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be written as /əɪnsˈleɪ/. The "gh" at the end is silent, and the "ae" combination creates a diphthong sound similar to "ay" in English. The "sl" combination is also common in Irish names and pronounced as one sound, like "sly." "Ainslaeigh" is likely a variant of the Irish name Aisling or Aislinn, meaning "dream" or "vision."
