Not getting anywhere with names! Any help woud be much appreciated :)

Here are some we like, but none are "the one". Can you think of any along these lines? (DD will have Welsh, Scottish, English, Irish & Estonian heritage. Doesn't necessarily have to be any of these though!)

Sioned
Arianwen
Mhari
Mari
Marianne
Roisin
Sian
Cerys
Carys
Ceridwen
Etta
Esme

For DS I read 8 baby names books before finding "the one". His name is Scottish and fairly unusual in the UK, although the Irish version is pretty well known in Ireland.

Just done one book so far this time! Can you save me from having to read the other 7?!

I know a Scottish lady called Triona (pronounced tree owner). Other suggestions...
Isla
Eilidh (pronounced Hailey without the h)
Catriona
Brea/bria (can't remember gaelic spelling, it involves GH somewhere!)
Bethan
Keeva (again can't remember correct spelling! Someone will correct me I'm sure but it starts Caom... :-S )

Sorcha meaning 'bright' (Dorca for 'dark)
Brianna meaning 'strong one' or 'exalted'.
