Having baby today- no name if a girl

I have two DDs already, one flower name, one Irish name. Both have family names.

Names I like but can't use: Iris, Clover, Joni, Orla, Roisin, Ann/Annie, Nancy, Alannah, Cecilia, Ivy, Violet, Olivia, Ella, Rose...

I would like an Irish name (have Irish surname) but at this point we don't even have a short list of names.

Please help! I am a desperate non-sleeping pregnant lady.

Thank you for all the good luck messages- at this point we're thinking we're going to stick with Nainsì.

We have discussed a few of the others suggested, so that has really helped- thank you!

You've really kept my mind off waiting today- hoorah for mumsnet.

Well, if Aine is awn-ya and bean sí is banshee, I'm going to guess Nainsí is Nawn-shee.

Looking forward to your news, OP!
