I like the sound of Bronach and Deirdre, but I think Aodhamair has the best meaning.

Between Aodhamair & Bronach, though I am uncertain of former's pronunciation.

I've never liked Deirdre. The story behind it is so sad and it sounds a bit like "dreary".
My favorite Celtic names are Feidlimid (I pronounce it FE-li-mi but I don't know if it's correct) and Ferelith.

I'm thinking Fiadnait or maybe Aodhamair

Of these, Fiadnait, but I'm partial to Aoibhgreine and Finnabhair for ancient Celtic names.

Ciamhnait and Aodhamair seem really cool but I have no idea how to actually prononce them would you be able to maybe put their pronunciations with them? :)

It's hard to decide without any information....It would help if you included pronunciations, or a little bit of history / info about the names. Guessing on the pronunciations for the unfamiliar names:
Aodhamair - EE-mur? or AY-mur?
Dianaimh - Dee-YAHN-nehv? Which is pretty.
Caimhnait - KEE-naht? or KEEV-naht?
Fiadnait - fee-UH-naht? I am currently loving Forbflaith (although I'd probably use Ferelith or Fairlith, but it's so pretty).

RhianwenThen Deirdre but I don't like the meaning. Deirdre is better than Deidre imoThe rest I find too daunting to pronounce!

Some of them are hard to pronounce! I'll be honest and say that I don't know how to
pronounce some of them myself. I'll look them up though!
