Bring back Celtic cultural names:

Aoife: Pronounced EE-fa, this name comes with a lovely meaning for your little lady: “beauty.” The moniker originates from the old Irish girls’ name Aífe and the word oíph. You’ll find Aoife in several Irish legends, including the Children of Lir.

Ciara: Pronounced kee-ARR-ah. Ciara comes from the Gaelic word ciar, meaning “dark,” and recalls the ancient Celts who used appellations to describe appearances. Ciara means “dark-haired” and was reserved for those whose hair and eyes resembled the captivating night sky.

Niamh: Pronounced NEEV, it means “bright.” In Irish mythology, Niamh was the daughter of Manannán mac Lir, the sea god.

Saoirse: Pronounced SHEER-sha. Meaning “freedom” in Irish Gaelic

Fionola: Pronounced FEE-ohn-ohla. Meaning White-Shoulder

Morgan: Pronounced Maw-guhn. Morgan is also frequently used as a girl's name and is from the Old Welsh name, Morgen, meaning “sea-born,” and the Irish name Muirgen, meaning "born of the sea."

Aisling: Pronounced ASH-ling. This name means "dream" or "vision" from the Gaelic word ‘aislinge’ and refers to an “aisling,” which is a poetic genre of Irish language poetry from the late 17th century. It only started being used as a first name in the 20th century. The poetic genre has been personified in Ireland as a beautiful woman in peril.
