I love Gaelic names, but I'd have to say nay to Laoghaire. It's a nice-sounding surname, just NMS as a first name.

I have heard it before but only as a last name (Leary in the United States, Ó Laoghaire in Ireland). As for spelling, I like the authentic, original Gaelic spelling 'Laoghaire', however if you're concerned about spelling and constantly correcting people in an English-speaking country that's no where near Ireland, the spelling of 'Leary' might give you less headaches. :)
