Don't wanna be a thorn in a very productive discussion, but it wasn't the Roman invasion of England that made these changes.
The Roman Empire only encountered 'P' Celtic languages (Brythonic). The Gaelic (Goidelic) tongues were found in the (for once) uninvaded regions of Ireland and Scotland.
The changes of which you speak (Aine, Aoife, &c) came later, after Christianization of the continent was widespread and so were the great Irish religious scholars.
Post Rome, the closest the English and French came together was the invasion of the Normans.

Ok, thanks :-) I knew I was oversimplifying! That's one bit of history I haven't covered very well in my studies.
