Maeve, Eileen, and Talulla (though it would be spelled Tallulah all the time) work outside of Ireland. The others...not so much.I love Aine, and Caoimhe and Saoirse are nice too. But they're really unworkable at least in the US (not sure where you are). Roisin is really...squishy, and Grainne reminds me of granny.

Roisin - Pronounced Ro-Sheen yes, pronounced any other way no. Its a pretty name.
Caoimhe - I prefer Keavy or Keeva.
Saoirse - Same for Roisin, the pronounciation issues. Still pretty.
Aine - pretty.
Grainne - Its nice, and so is the connection with a goddess.
Talulla - I like it spelled that way.
Eileen - My name. Not a fan.
Maeve - A very underused, pretty name.
