Need help for an Irish name.
Okkay, I know there's a lot of people on this board who love Irish names. I do too, however I don't know too many.
What I need is a name for an Irish princess. She's pretty with blue eyes and medium brown hair. She starts out as a peasent.
The only Irish names for girls I have are Mackenzie (which in Ireland is mostly a boys name) Fiona (Too Shrek like) Molly (To little kiddish)
Does any one have a beautiful Irish name to match a beautiful Irish princess?

Actually. . .
Mackenzie is extremely rare over here. It's only used as a last name. Molly isn't Irish either :)
Some Irish names
Sinead
Roisin
Aine
Laoise
Ailis
Aisling (which I think is perfect for a princess as it is often used in poems for a princess. It means "dream" or "vision")
Aoibheann
Aoife
Meabh
Neasa
Maire
Assumpta
Beibhinn
Brigid
Caitlin
Caitria
Caitriona
Eabha
Treasa
Sorcha
Saoirse
Cliodhna
Dearbhail
Eilis
Eithne
Orfhlaith (which is also good as it means "golden princess")
Emer
Eireann
Feidhelm
Grainne

Well what about Morag or Mor which means 'great' or 'princess'?
Or what about these other names that have associations with princesses:
Aoife (Eva or Ava)
Aoibheann (ee-van)
Gormlaith
Isolde
Orla / Orlagh / Orlaith / Orfhlaith
Talulla
Also these names make me think of a princess:
Meave (or a Gaelic spelling)
Maire
Caoimhe
Laoise (like Leesha)
Eithne / Ethne (like Enya or Enna)
Aine (like Anya)
Roisin
Alana / Alannah
Lile (like Lily)
Saraid
Hope this helps! I adore Irish names and a story about an Irish princess sounds delightful!

Mackenzie is an Irish SURNAME. It is never, ever used in Ireland as a first name. Please don't use it as a first name, especially not for a girl.
http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/iri.php is the database's list of Irish names. Most have pronunciation either in the comments or the name entry, but you have to click on them.
