Here's a cool website with Irish saint names (lots of interesting and uncommon names) and the pronunciations are listed.
Or here's an idea if you are pregnant, see if your the due date on the right and find names are listed next to that day. It would make a good story for a kid to say how he got his name. ;)

We named our Irish lad Rory Patrick. It means red king.
We got pregnant while visiting Ireland, so the hubby definitely wanted something Irish.

We named our Irish boy Keegan after much debate and struggle. We love the name. Good luck finding the name you love!

My husband is Irish and we named our daughter after his gran - Una (pron. oona) and people always comment that it's a beautiful name. She's 8, and I haven't met another child named Una, so it appears to be relatively uncommon. Best wishes.

I named my son Kian (Ian with a K) but I've also seen it written Kean
I also saw the name Brynn (Br-in) in a book once and I think it is Irish.
Congrats!!
