Scottish Gaelic Girls Names

Hi All,
I know that this has probably been done to death, but I am looking for inspiration for girls names. I love Scottish and Scots Gaelic names but am hitting a brick wall for a girls name. I have some boys names but need girls names; ideally a wee bit different from the norm. A few more common Scottish names have already been ruled out due to having already been used in the family! I am not averse to Irish names either (love Saoirse, Roisin and Aisling), but would prefer Scottish.
Thanks :)

Sorry, I should have said, Mhairi and Eilidh aren't options.....these names have already been taken ;)

A Bridie is Scotland's answer to a Cornish pasty.

How about Mhairi, pronounced with a "v" sound at the start? Or something like Bridie? Smile

My favourite Scottish girls name is Morven.
