Audrey
Catherine
Maeve
Margaret
Moira
Vivian or Vivien - I prefer it Vivian

Aedan - I like it better with an 'Ai' instead of 'Ae', but still nice.
Cillian
Colin
Liam
Lorcan

The other names are nice as well, but most children outside of Ireland/maybe the British Isles would probably be laughed at.

"but most children outside of Ireland/maybe the British Isles would probably be laughed at."

I second this. Naming a child Finola wouldn't be too bad (like Finola Hughes the soap actress) but Fionnghuala is just going to get the kid made fun of her entire life.
