Sibling for Erin

Hoping all you wise baby name experts can help us with some ideas.

DD1 (2yrs) is Erin. We picked this after much indecision. I loved that it was two-syllables and didn't end in an "ie/ey/ee" or "a" sound. A lovely strong consonant at the end. All four of DH's grandparents were Irish and he liked the link to his heritage. In case relevant, we live in the UK and have no plans to move to Ireland.

DC2 is due in April. We are set for a boys name but struggling for if this baby is another girl.

I quite like Maeve, but one of DD1's nursery friends has just had a baby sibling called Maeve and it does seem very popular at the moment. I also quite like Bridget, but DH can't get past the Bridget Jones' Diary connection.🙈But I wouldn't say I'm particularly enthused by either.

I'm sure there must be lots of other names out there that would sound lovely with Erin (not necessarily with an Irish link), but just massively lacking in inspiration at the minute.

Please help! 😅
