I am atleast 35% Irish and I would use an Irish name in a heartbeat! I prefer to stick to names that say something in terms of my ethnic background, the meaning of the name, etc. So Irish names fit right in. I don't know if it matters how Irish you are to use the name. It would be strange to meet someone who is not asian named Nguyen if you don't have asian roots, but since you have European roots I don't generally see European names off limits. Of course, I don't see any names off limits, but especially not names from places that you have ethnic background in.
From your list I like:

---

Cillian- I like this, but the "kill" sound puts people off.
Cuan- I always wondered how this was pronounced as well. I always said it Cue-en (Like as in a cue stick)
Eibhlin-Because of its difficult pronunciation I prefer Evelyn.
Enya- I like this, but am afraid of the association with the singer.
Eoghan-Love!
Faolon- Pronounced Fal-in.
Muriel- Only on a female.
