I'm assuming you want boy's names since your examples were of only boy names. How about Keegan, Connor, Sean, Kiernan, Aidan, Liam, Cameron, Luke, Dylan, Ryan, or Patrick? These are some of my favorites. If you go to http://www.cso.ie/releasespublications/documents/births_d_m/2006/babiesnames_2006.pdf you'll see a list of the most popular Irish names for 2006. Good luck and congratulations!

You can type Scottish baby names in to your search engine and you'll find plenty of websites full of Sottish baby names, good luck.
