I think she's literally the only person in the world with this name.

A charming name, an English phonetic spelling from the Irish Gaelic "Eithne", meaning "kernel". Enya, the lady of new-age music, is really Eithne ní Bhraonáin. Personally, I think she should have kept the original spelling. We English speakers learned to say "Schwartzenegger", didn't we.
This is such an Irish name, too, and I really like it. I might consider naming a daughter of mine Enya, but I'd be afraid that some of the more ignorant children would tease her about her name. But still.
Ooh! This is such a beatiful, unique name! I would seriously considering naming one of my daughters this. She would remind me of all the enchanting songs Enya sings whenever I see her. Hopefully, others would as well, instead of teasing her. My senses tingle everytime I hear this name.
