I love DD1's name. It means sweet/sweetness. I loved it as soon as DP suggested it. But sadly I can't now use it for DD2!

We're really struggling to find a name that feels right. There are several English names I love, but DP and I are both kind of keen on another Irish name.

So, Irish names I like:
Saorla ("Sayrla" or "Seerla"? the flip-flopping puts me off)
Fia
Doireann ("Dirren" but DP doesn't like)
Maeve (but too matchy?)
Róisín or Róise ("Roe-sheen" or "Roe-sha").

Non-Irish names I like:
Robyn
Hazel

I think I like Robyn most actually but then I feel torn for not choosing something Irish, and I fear DP may veto....

Arghh! I hate choosing names. It's like choosing a buggy. I'm constantly finding faults!

Help me please of wise ones of Mumsnet! Any suggestions that go well with Sadhbh? I'm up for Welsh, Scottish, Cornish suggestions too- anything tangentially Gaelic really.
