My cousin married an Irishman and they have Patrick (Paddy), Rauri (Gaelic spelling of Rory, and I think I got it right), Frances and oooh, I've forgotten number 4's name! Oops...
I love Eamonn and Declan - they're lovely names without too much explanation of spelling.
Niamh is a lovely name to look at, but would certainly need correcting when people were reading it. Amusingly, in Ireland, Neve is pronounced Nev - wouldn't it be nice if everyone embraced phonetic name spelling!
