I hate that Ruairí sometimes gets mixed with Rory! Drives me nuts!

I really like Donnacha

It's not to me but I'm Irish and it's a very common name in Ireland. That spelling also makes it easy to pronounce.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Donnacha, is it very “out” there

@mathanxiety I was explaining that it’s a similar version and pronunciation , I’m happy with her name and suits her very well.

Thoughts on Oscar? Googled it and it says it has Irish roots etc

Oscar is nice but worth noting it is quite popular these days.
we know 3!!!

Just fyi, Eirinn is more than just a twist on Erin.

You've used the dative case of the noun Eire (fada on E, can't do fadas on my phone). It's the form of the noun that follows a preposition (to, at, in, on, and so on).

Ronan is also amazing albeit a teeny bit tarnished by Roman keating

Pardon my ignorance but I'm curious how you pronounce Eirinn, is it a girls name?
