Boy name,3 unique siblings named already

With my first two children, naming was such a breeze. It just seemed that the names jumped out and suited them. Son is Keegan Xavier and daughter is Keara (though I wanted Reann) Aislinn (pronounced Ashling). I also have a step-daughter named McKayla Jade. So, now we have a boy on the way, and for the life of us, we can't figure out a name. I wanted something Gaelic/Irish to match the other children's names. Now I am thinking Biblical. Ultimately, I want something that is unique like our other 3 children's names. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. We're due in Febuary and still completely hopeless when it comes to naming our newest son. Thank you all.

Here are a few ideas:

Noah
Alijah/Elijah "the Lord is my God"
Brasen "God's gift"
Elias "The Lord is my God"
Elliot "The Lord is my God"
Evan "God is good"
Gabriel
Ian "God is gracious"
Isaiah "salvation by God"
Jeremiah "sent by God"
Joaquin "God will establish"
Joseph
Josiah
Matthias
Micah "Who is like God?"
Sean "God is gracious"
Tobias "God is great"
Zeke "Strength of God"

Seamus
Declan- Celtic/Gaelic "meaning Irish Saint"
Cael- Celtic/Gaelic "meaning victorious people"
Ross- Celtic/Gaelic
Nevan- Celtic/Gaelic meaning "little saint"
Angus- Celtic/Gaelic "unique strength"

Choice #1) McKayla, Keegan, Keara, and Brasen Cael
Choice #2) McKayla, Keegan, Keara, and Nevan Jeremiah
Choice #3) McKayla, Keegan, Keara, and Micah Ross
Good luck!

I love Irish names. Here are some of my favorites that I think would fit well with your three:

Braden/Brady
Brannan
Brendan
Brogan
Cullen
Grady
Owen
Nolan
Rory
Sullivan
Tiernan
Tierney
Quinn

If you want to incorporate the K sound that is present in all three names, Quinn and Cullen are good choices because they contain the sound, but doesn't start with a K. (I'm assuming you don't want a K name since you have two with a K and one without.) Tierney is one of my favorites from the list and I like that it mirrors the strong E sound in Keegan and Keara.

I love biblical boy names. Just some suggestions:
Josiah
Gideon
Malachi
Ezra
Asher
Tabor
Japheth
and I also like Celtic names, but they're harder to come up with, for me. I like Lachlan a lot.

Good luck. I'm having the same problem, naming our third child, second boy due in April!!
