Ciaran
Declan (I know it's a bit trendy, but I really like it, it has a 'clear' sort of sound to it)

I came to this site crying "I don't like Irish names or K names!!" I'm still a primarily anti-K-unless-its-a-Katherine-variant lover of Germanic and English names, but there are a few exceptions. I truly love or really like all those listed above.
An irrelevant note, because this list-making has reminded me: my cousin Kaitlyn Mary was almost Kathleen Mary. It makes me a little sad. Oh well...
