Aghna - This is pronounced IE-na. I love it!
Aoibhgréine - Love this too, it's pronounced eev-GRAIN-ya, and has such a beautiful meaning
Dáire - This is pronounced DAW-ra, and it's a masculine name. Which I love! (There is one of my sources that has it listed as a possible feminine name, not sure if it's ever used as one. Maybe someone else will have better insight.)
Deirbhile
Muadhnait
Tuathla
Tuilelaith
There's someone here who likes Saorla a lot. Don't remember who.
