Girl name help

in Baby Names
We've been trying to pick a girl name, we have a daughter Elaina Jo. We like more classic names and try to stay away from overly popular but it isn't an absolute exclusion if it is.
Since this is most likely our last we've been trying to pick an Irish girl name but are having a hard time finding one that we like easilly pronounced. 
I like Nora, Brenna, Wren, or Willa. 
My husband also likes Evelyn. 
I know not all stated are irish, just names we like. 
Thanks in advance!

    I think there are a lot of great Irish names but I see your point about pronunciation. I love Nora but DH isn't fond of it.

    other Irish names to consider:
    Agnes
    Belinda
    Brenna
    Brigid
    Colleen
    Deidre
    Erin (too obvious? Hah)
    Maura

    Love Siobhan. I worked with a girl who married an Irish lad and they named their daughter Orla. I always thought it was really sweet.

    I love Nora and Wren. Also love Carys. What about Rosemary or Rosalie? I don't know if those are Irish, but they're very classic and seem to have the feel you like.

    If Irish is of interest suggest Iris, Eileen, Maeve. Wren is my favorite of your choices.

    Yes. Inknow someone with this name and she hates it! No one ever knows what her name is or how to spell it.

    Agreed ^ honestly I have no idea how to pronounce Siobhan????
    We also can't use Moira, although it's my favorite because last name sounds like more and we can't use Megan because that is my name :) 
    I feel like the only one we've liked is Brenna out of Irish names we've found. 
    I do like Fiona but wasn't sure how much shameless would be a reference for her name? Haha

    With Fiona, I wouldn't worry about Shameless references following your daughter. By the time her generation is old enough to watch that sort of thing, it will be long gone. I'd be more worried about Shrek at least when she's young.
