Need names for baby #7!

Hi all, I'm expecting our 7th child in april, and could use some name suggestions! Some of the guidelines I usually try to go with in selecting names: nothing trendy or very popular, nothing too "out-there" or unusual, an Irish connection is good but not too Gaelic, like at least one of the names(first or middle) to be Saints name or a derivative.
Our children are named: Kevin Patrick(Kevin), Colleen Theresa(Colleen), Mary Katherine(Mary Kate), Timothy Thomas(Tim), Clare Elizabeth(Clare), and Tessa Grace(Tessa). Some names we can't use due to close relatives are: Shannon, Erin, Meaghan, Ryan, Celia, Fiona, Kieran, Dillon, plus lots more (big, Irish family, lol). You can see why I'd love some input!!! Feel free to suggest anything you think would "go" with our family. Thanks! Lisa

My sons name is Vincent...its not trendy or out there but it is fairly unique today. Its old and religious and can be shortened to Vince. I think it is strong and will grow with him to adulthood unlike some trendy names. It's Vincent Michael.

Sheila/Shelagh
Christina
Flora (there is a St Flora)
Frances
Eileen/Aileen/Ellen/Helen/Elaine
Gemma
Lucy
Maeve
Jane
Siobhan
Cara
Alanna
Louise
Amy
Orla
Sinead

Alistair/Alasdair/Alister/Alexander etc
Aidan (overused, but as a mn it's good)
Anthony, Antony
Brendan
Benedict
Columba, Colman, Colum, Malcolm, Colm
Conall
Callum/Calum
Conor (this is the popular Irish spelling- it's #3 over there!)
Dominic

How about Kelly for a girl or a boy. Very simple and very Irish at the same time. My hats off to you with 7 kids!
