Irish girls names

My sister is 25 weeks and we've been up chatting about girls names. Her DH is Irish and dsis is half Irish so they'd like to give their DC an Irish name. They already have a DS (Ciaran) so would like it to go with that. So far we have:

Orla
Sinead
Clodagh

What do you think and any other suggestions?

Clo-da

Clo rhymes with 'No'.

I really like Orla. I also love Maeve. Being not Irish I sometimes don't know how some of them are said. I don't really know how you'd say Clodagh? Is it Clod-a?

Clodagh is the best out the three suggested.

Sinéad and Orla are too boring.

I have an irish friend, her daughters are Aoife, Ciara and Aine (I'm sure there are some accents in there, but wouldn't know where"
