My name is Aileen (prounced like eye-leen). It is Gaelic and I love it. My aunt's name is Siobhan (prounced shi-von with a short "i"). This is also Gaelic. These are both female names. Áine is also a beautiful name for a girl.
Now for the boys...
I like Brady, simple yet ethnic. Eoin is a favorite of mine, and is open to multiple prounciation choices (I like aye-oh-in). Then, there's always the well known. Patrick is a beautiful name, and when paired with a more exotic one (Rónán, perhaps) it is very nice.
I hope I've helped!
