My faves from your list are Aoife and Ciara.

What about Orla? it means Princess

or:

Taryn
Gemma
Aisling
Aisslyn
Teagan
Kasey
Kiera

Lovely lovely names! How about neve, I don't have a clue how to spell it but I'm pretty sure it's Irish!

Delaney?

Thank you for your name suggestions... lots of beautiful names, so much choice

Naimh

I love Aoife!

I'm Sinead, that's Irish but not very popular now a days... Xx

We coming on to say Erin as that's our name and it means Ireland but u already have it.

It's such a pretty name. Xxxx

It's spelled Niamh. Delaney is a surname, you could get away with this in the US maybe, but anywhere else..would be a bit odd.

English versions and meanings given for the ones I know. Several of these names don't have an English version, many are from myths and are several thousand years old. The pronunciations are correct- I am Irish and am fluent in it. Not all of these names are common- some are very rare. Irish names tend to have mythological meanings; male names usually refer to warrior, bravery etc. etc. Female names tend to mean light, pure, beautiful, fair etc.

Good luck with your choice! Irish names are beautiful. I intend to use Sadbh and Iseult and possibly Ríonadh.
