Irish or short, classic (?) girls name inspiration needed

[Blanketsandpillows]

We have not found a single girls name that we both like! We still have plenty of time but would love to have a list of possibilities-at the moment we have zero! I think ideally it would be either a name like Katie or Anna (I don't know how to describe those names!) or an Irish name. We wouldn't want the name to be longer than two syllables....and i guess nothing 'fancy'!
Any inspiration out there?
Names which are close but not quite right for us are; Aoife, Niamh, Emer, Mary, Lucy, Orla, Hannah, Sarah, Roisin, Emma, Ellen, Lily, Dara....

Love Róisín here are some other irish girl ones:
Áine
Nuala
Sorcha

English ones I like are Constance (Connie), Frances, Grace, Sally.

Ailish
Aoife

And Erin is gaelic for Ireland, not an irish name as such.

A ladt has just started in our office called Feirin - I have never heard it before but loved it.

Its a gaelic word used as a name. How isnt it irish?

Erin is a Gaelic word used as a name by Americans. So yes, you can say it's an Irish name as its in the Irish language but it's not a traditional Irish name as such

A little bit like Coleen which is derived from Cailín (meaning girl) used more by expats than Irish people.

Aoibhinn us actually pronounced Eve-een. 'Aoi' produces an 'ee' sound as in Aoife.

Erin is a beautiful name.

Nancy
Naomi (opps 3 syllables)
Betty
Clare
Bridget

Aine is actually pronounced Awn-ya and is the Irish for Anne.

I agree Erin is not actually an Irish name and would be considered quite an American type name over here.

Other Irish names you might like to consider are:

Enya
Nessa
Muireann (pronounced Mwirann)

I'm not sure if it's Irish but Moya is a name you hear reasonably often over here and would be a change from Maya and Mia. It's often used as a nn for Mary-Anne.

Moya and Enya are the Donegal pronunciations of Máire and Eithne.
