Celtic girls' names (pref Scottish) that don't end with "ah" sound

As the title says.

Our favourite first name ends in an "ah" sound and I don't want the middle name to repeat that. I love, but have therefore ruled out:

Iona
Isla
Ailsa
Cara
Mara
Caiomhe
Aoife

and so on.

I'd rather hear other name ideas, than give the first and have people make suggestions to "match". Please help - this my chance to stamp my celtic roots onto our baby. I'm Scottish, so would prefer that, but OH is part Irish, so that's ok too.

Not Bronwyn - although lots of people seem to choose this, "Wyn" is the male form of "white".

So Bronwen is correct - the literal translation is "white breast".

Welsh lesson over.

Some other ideas...(friends of dds)..
