I have one DD called Méabh (Maeve). I'm due a brother or sister for her soon, but struggling with names.

So far we like:

Girls
Saoirse
Cora
Caragh

Boys
Ronan
Sé (Shay)

All Irish. But, we aren't necessarily set on an Irish name. But are struggling to find names from different origins that "go" with Méabh. We don't want any Eve, Eva's, Ava etc as DD's middle name is similar to this. Any ideas welcome!

You might find this site helpful www.babynamesofireland.com/ - if you scroll down to the 'View all Irish girl/boy names' links you'll get pronunciations and meanings.
I'm fascinated by names and there are lots of great suggestions on the threads here - a few that come to mind which might go with Méabh are Esme, Madeleine, Julia, Greer & Eleanor. Also Fergus, Cameron, Leon, Bryn and Alistair. From your list I especially like Ronan & Saoirse. I know someone called Aislinn, pronounced as spelt rather than the Irish way - she's the only one I've ever come across. Another 'one off' name which I like belongs to my friend Careen (pronounced Kah-reen with the emphasis on the first syllable).
