Your daughter may find the names below useful.
Iona (i + o + na) - St. Colmcille founded his monastery on Iona, the island between Ireland and Scotland in 563 AD and thus the name is associated with "blessed."
Dana (dah+nah) - Two derivations. It is the Irish word for 'bold' in the sense of naughty. Dana or Danu was also the name of a pagan Goddess who gave her name to the legendary Celtic warriors the Tuatha de Danann (the People of Danu).
Siobhan (shiv + awn) - Siobhan is another Irish form of Joan meaning "God is gracious."
Ríona (REE+uh+na) queenly
I think my favourite is:
Erin (EH+rin) -Poetic name for Ireland. Not used so much in Ireland, but it is popular among Irish immigrants.

Erin
Below is the reason why.
Erin is a Hiberno-English derivative of Irish Gaelic Éirinn, the dative case of Éire, the Irish word for "Peace". Nineteenth-century Irish nationalists also used Erin in English as a romantic name for Ireland, as shown in the catchphrase (when speaking of Ireland's experiences with Britain), "Let Erin Remember". According to Irish mythology and folklore, the name was given to the land by the Milesians after the goddess Ériu. Erin Go Bragh (Éireann Go Brách, in standard orthography), often heard during St. Patrick's Day, means "Ireland Forever". The etymological history of the word as it drifted throughout the Gaelic region gave rise to its use by the early Scots to both mean "Ireland", as well as "West", as Ireland lay to the geographic west of Scotland.
Erin is a popular modern name for both sexes, alternatively spelled as Eryn, Erynn, Eirinn, Aeryn, Eiryne or otherwise. It also contributed to many surnames, as well, for example "Erin-Vienne" (West Man/Irish Man) gave rise to the surnames of Irving, Irvine, Ervin, Irwin, Eryvine, Ervyne, etc. There are over 200 known derivations of the Erin root.

I had a friend in school called Colleen - also the Irish way of saying girl.
I always liked the name.
I also like Niamh (pronounced neeve)
and Aoife (pronounced eva)
Iona (which is both Irish, Welsh and Scottish, pronounced eyeowna in Irish and Scottish and yonna in Welsh.)
