Does anyone have a good link?
Life and death, energy and peace.
If I stop today it was still worth it.
Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could.
The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul,
it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where I've walked,
which was...
To hell on earth, Heaven on earth,
Back again, Into, Under, Far in between,
Through it, and above.

I am Irish, however, and wish to compliment you on your choice ;)
However, I must also say that if you use some of even the most common Irish names, you may run into a problem that is one of my biggest issues with baby names... mispronunciation ! Such as, one of my favorite Irish names is Aisling - I love how it looks written, and how it's pronounced too, but it's totally different then what it looks like : Ash-ling or Ashlin' of you're too lazy to say the G sound.
So as long as it's not an issue, go for it ! I do recommend you are certain of the correct pronunciation though, before you choose a name :)
Best of luck !
