Help[Opinions] Some new Celtic ones
Coventina -- both Roman and Celtic mythology, goddess of springs and wells
Arduinna -- kind of the Celtic equivalent of Diana / Artemis
Lenus -- Celtic healing god
Llyr / Lir -- Welsh / Irish gods of the sea
Peredur -- from the Welsh Romances, original name for Percival
What do you think of these?

Llyr (the spelling I like) is good, I like it.
Arduinna-I find it hard to figure out how to pronounce it. Could be a good name, though.

I'm glad your using "Celtic" in the right context. I get really pissed off when people call Irish names "Celtic names". D= By the way, the top three are Gaulish, I think.
Coventina - Kind of pretty, but the "convent" bit reminds me of nuns, even though it is a mythological name.
Arduinna - Really pretty. I prefer this to Adriana, but I'm not sure what way it's pronounced.
Lenus - Alright, but not my style.
Llyr / Lir - I love Llyr. It's an awesome name I want to use someday. Over here, Lir is completely tied up with the story "The children of Lir". I love that story, but the name just isn't usable. Everyone thinks of the myth when they hear the name.
Peredur - Sounds kinda dorky to me, but Percival isn't much better. ;)

Coventina is kind of neat. I've never heard it before.
Llyr is alright. It makes me think of the Prydain Chronicles. I also used it as a name for my pet in WoW. :)
I've always thought Peredur was kind of nice. I like it more than Percival. It seems more valiant Arthurian knight and less whiny whimpy guy.

Ooh, I like Coventina and Peredur. The sound is refreshing; it's so different from the bland, overused Emmas and Jacobs I normally here. The history/mythology behind the names is really interesting, too. History + sound = a win-win situation to me.
