[Opinions] Need some Celtic names please!

Fionnuala- more Celtic mythology, but still my all-time favorite Celtic name for a girl. Carys is also nice, and reads a little more mainstream (ie. pronounceable by most native English-speakers)... If it's a male you're looking to name, I'd suggest Cionaodh or Iarfhlaith, and I also like the look of Iestyn...
I think Eirlys is lovely.

Eirlys is adorable and I love the meaning. The others are not my style but I don't dislike any of them.
I'm going to suggest Samhrán (prn. sow-rawn) which I absolutely adore. Other possible spellings are Samhradhán and Samradán. It's a masculine name though. I don't know if you were just looking for feminine names. I also like Tiarnach a lot and Croí (prn. cree). Croí means heart (it isn't really used as a name though.)

Angharad is utterly gorgeous. I adore it. I'd suggest it more often, but pronunciation is usually an issue.
Eirlys is another favorite and Muirne is nice, although I prefer Muirgheal / Muriel. I'm not big on Etain and Morrigan, but I have nothing against them either.
Rather than listing my other favorites, why not go to the home page and look up names under "Irish names" or "Cornish / Manx / Scottish / Breton / etc. names." If they aren't listed on the home page, simply click on the link for "more names" and have fun. There's even a category for Celtic mythology, if I'm not mistaken.
