: Irish Gaelic does not use the letters j, k, q, v, w, x, y, or z. If the names come from Irish you should avoid those letters. Names like Kieran are Anglicized from proper Irish spellings (in this case Cíaran). Names like Séamus, Seán etc. are "Gaelicizations" of Christian names (James and John respectively), and you've said these were Pagan Celts, so those names wouldn't have been known to them.
