So far we have Nessa, Monroe or Alba, any other suggestions?

Thoughts on the names above?

Massively outing myself but I have two boys already called Angus and Fergus.

I am also looking for a girls name to go with DD1 (Iona). I love Eilidh or Mhairi ( but would pronounce as Marry)

'Mh' in Scottish Gaelic is normally pronounced 'V' at the beginning of the word.

Mhairi is the vocative case of Mairi, used when speaking to someone as 'you' . (It's the same difference as between Seamas (nominative) and Hamish (vocative). )

'Mhairi' is normally pronounced 'Varry'. Mairi is pronounced 'Marry'.

I know there are a few exceptions, but above spellings honestly are the normal conventions.
