Irish-ish(!) boys name

Hi all,
DC 2 is due in a few weeks, we don't know the sex. We have a short list of girls names (none are Irish btw!), but are really stuck for boys names.
Ds1 has an English spelling of an Irish name. Our surname is a common Irish name (English language)
We like fairly traditional names, nothing too "out there" for small town Ireland!

Any suggestions?

My favourite Irish boy’s name is Jarlath. For girls I like Breige

How is Daithi pronounced?

I love Caobhinn (Keeveen) for a boy.

My earlier post seems to have disappeared!
Thanks for all the suggestions. Really liking Cillian, Cian and Niall. DS's name has been suggested a few times Smile, glad to see that it's popular. It's not a name we hear too often where we live!
A few other names suggested I love, but are the names/v similar to names of our nephews.

Thanks again!
