Actually Irish (Celtic) names have a touch of exciting romance about them but pronouncing them may be a real challenge to non Celts eg
Sioban
which sounds better than it looks (pronounced "Shivon")

some Popular Portuguese names actually:EdwardTking

As a geology graduate, I am of course prejudiced in favour of names such as:
Amber

well, according to my origines and my culture, it could be a "luso-hispano-italo" name (= latin).
But it should be mixed with my wife's ones, and she is more Alsaco-germanic... (=saxon ?).
for example, she doesn't want a final "a" , which sounds very good to me.
So our main difficulty is to find something that we both love.
Thanks to every one for giving us here a lot of possibilities. We have 4 months for deciding
(last time, we have decided just 15 minutes before !!! )....

but don't the majority of the people in Alace-Lorraine speak natively German(or at least they do according to an atlas publiushed in 1999)?
this atlas told you a great joke !!!
NO !
even if it could have been right 30 years ago (my family-in-law understand it fluently), the ARE more French than German.
They first speak French, and Alsacian in 2nd (or, in lower degree, Lorrain).
Before my child was born, we explicitly told the ultrasound technicians not to inform us of the baby's sex (unnecessary sexing of preborns here is against government policy but technicians routinely hint, or "slip"). We didn't want to build up an expectation of who our child would be. So with naming we pared down the lists - male and female - to a few names but didn't pick one until after we'd met the baby.
Beware cute names though. They seem perfect for the moment, but your child may not wish to be cute all her life.
The genetic approach is to variously bash together two names (e.g. your wife's and yours) and see what you come up with. Maybe this will suggest a "real" name. My wife "Yoko" and I "Sean" got either "Shoko" a very common Japanese girl's name (her mother's in fact), or, "Johan", which we nearly used.
Personally, I love the sound of Russian names, and preferred a short one to balance the long family name. It also had to sound fine in North America, and be an acceptable name for a boy in Japan. Thank goodness "Yuri" is a popular name for boys in Japan right now, and in Canada evokes not KGB agents but chess masters, cosmonauts, and any number of hockey stars.
