I would throw out Murphy (which can also mean potato) and Shannon (too Irish-American, imo).

Would you consider Sian?

Aoife is very common in Ireland of late.

We have a Rhidian (Welsh) and I also love Caelan for a boy.

What about Shona for a girl and Duncan for a boy?

I think Megan is a Welsh name, though you wouldn't immediately recognise it as such.

It's very comprehensive - I wasted HOURS on it yesterday!

Kerenza (Cornish)
Both mean 'love'
