So you would rather use the latin world for "girl", which is "puella" or "puera". I have to say, though, that in irish this word could have a slightly different meaning compared to latin. And it's difficult to translate names, especially if you want to translate a new name to an older language. In modern greek, it would be "kopela(κοπέλα)", "koritsi(κορίτσι)", and in ancient greek it would be something like "kori(κόρη)". But I suggest using the same name transcribed in foreign characters. In the case of Greek, "Κολίν" or "Kαλίν", depending on pronunciation.

The female name Kohleen derives from the Greek name Kolina. I don't know if there is a Latin equivalent, but if there were it would almost certainly be spelled Collina - but that means 'situated on a hill' in Latin (adjective, fem. sing. nominative.)
