Of coarse I'm going to say Nora, since it's my favorite girl name. Aisling is pretty too, but I probably wouldn't use it.

ETA: I forgot Owen Kelly, DUH! It's one of my favorite combos :)

I love Aidan (despite its popularity), as well as Ciara and Ciaran. Liam's a delight, too.

I came to this site crying "I don't like Irish names or K names!!" I'm still a primarily anti-K-unless-its-a-Katherine-variant lover of Germanic and English names, but there are a few exceptions. I truly love or really like all those listed above.

An irrelevant note, because this list-making has reminded me: my cousin Kaitlyn Mary was almost Kathleen Mary. It makes me a little sad. Oh well...

I like:
Bridget
Dwayne
Neassa
Patrick
Sheila
Caitlin
..and that's it. I hate most Irish names because they're too harsh. I just don't get why people say Siobhan is such a beautiful name, especially since you have to know some one named it to know how to pronounce it.

Sinead
Niamh
Eilish (I once knew a sibset of Sinead, Niamh and Eilish - they were gorgeous)
Aoife
Caiomhe (slightly prefer Keavy in sound, but Caiomhe looks much prettier)
Kiara/Ciara
Ciaran
Declan (I know it's a bit trendy, but I really like it, it has a 'clear' sort of sound to it)
Liam
Patrick
Quinn

Brianna (since it's my own, of course)
Caitlin
Siobhan
Nora
