I prefer the Anglicized versions almost every time. I just can't imagine burdening my American children with names like Fionnghuala and Diarmaid when Finola and Dermot are available and so much easier to live with. Caoimhe is the one exception because I dislike the look of Keeva, and Kiva changes the name completely, but I'd probably never use it.
