Also...Samhain isn't exactly a name, but a Pagan holiday:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain

Eanáir - Ann-AR
Samhain - Sow-WAN
Nollaig - Null-UGNeither Eanáir or Samhain are used as names in Ireland. Nollaig is used for male and females and translates as Noel/Noelle. It's rare and out-dated though.
