Celtic boys names

My husband is Scottish and I'm Irish and we would love to recognise our Celtic heritage in our baby boys names, but we're struggling to come up with ideas.
Any suggestions please?

Kieran/Ciaran - I'm Scots Irish too . We named our son this as it's also an Indian name (Kiran). DH is Indian. Interestingly it means 'ray of light' in Sanskrit and 'little dark one' in Gaelige/Gaelic. And he really is both !!GrinGrin
