Kyt, here are the ones I could find pronunciations for:

Naoise (F) = NEE-sha
Niamh (F) = NEEV or NEE-uv
Oisin (M) = USH-een
Siofra (F) = SHEE-fra

Another male name you might like:
Saoirse = SEER-sha (means freedom)

Niamh

I have an Irish friend named Niamh. It's a female name btw :). She pronounces it NEEV (as she puts it, like "sleeve" with an "n")
