I love Finnéadan for a girl. It's a traditional Gaelic name -- pronounced finn-AY-din -- meaning "fair brow". (I don't know of any anglicised spellings, but I don't feel its spelling is too bad compared with some original Gaelic names). It has the nickname potential of Finn, which I've always liked but considered too short for a full first name. WDYTO these combos?

Finnéadan Sasha
Finnéadan Skye, after the island
Finnéadan Bethany (too long?)
Finnéadan Bethanie (Unsure of spelling, but I think I prefer the "ie" for a fn and the "y" for a mn)
Finnéadan Arielle (again, too long perhaps unless with a short surname)
Finnéadan Belle
Finnéadan Arianne
Finnéadan Chloë (I only like Chloë spelled with the diaeresis, but I'm not fond of having multiple accents in one combo, given we're not used to them in English and even one accent is unusual)

And also, unrelated -- to save board space: WDYTO of the combo Aisling Anastasia (ASH-ling, ann-a-STAY-zha) for a girl?
