What are some nice Irish or Scottish names?

I'm looking for kind of Gaelic names, or just traditional names from Scotland or Ireland.


I like names like Niamh or or Ciaran.

What are some nice Irish or Scottish names?
I love the name Niamh. I like Ciar谩n too. Here's a few more Irish ones for you...





Boys:


Fionn- my favourite (yun, with an f in front)


Cian (kee-in)


Cillian


Tadhg (tige, with a hard "g")


Cathal (coh-hull)


Eoghan/Eoin (owen)


Se谩n


Ciar谩n (keerawn)


P谩draig (paw-drig)


Rian (ree-in)


Liam


Cormac (core-muk)


R贸n谩n (row-nawn) "row" as in row a boat


R煤air铆 (rooree)


Diarmuid (deer-mwid)


Daire (dara)


Naoise (neesha)





Girls:


Maedhbh (mayve)


R贸is铆n (row-sheen)


茅abha (like "Ava")


Aoibhe (eevah)


Aoife (eefah)


Aoibheann (eevan)


Aoibh铆nn (eeveen)


谩ine (awnya)


Aifric (afric)


Ciara (keera)


Fiona


Sin茅ad (shinaid)


Siobh谩n (shuvawn)


Sadhbh (sive)


Caitr铆ona (catree-ana)


Caoimhe (kweeva)


Aisling (ashling)





Hope these help. Most of these names would be fairly common in Ireland





Edit: I'm putting in the pronounciations in case you need them
Reply:I have 4 boys and they are all named with an Irish/Scottish flair. I have Cameron Michael, Gavin Wesley, Ashton Hayes and Aidan Heath. I don't know why...I've just always been drawn towards names from that area.





I would suggest looking towards Celtic mythology. You may be able to come across a few unusual yet good names that way.
