Name trouble again

[valarltd]

Name question!

I'm having to change the name of a female character. Tara was too close to Zara. Kyla has family associations. Which of the following names, repeated over and over, will NOT make you throw your hands up in horror and give up on the book?

Aoife
Catriona
Deirdre
Fianna
Grania
Iona
Kyna
Mona
Una
Ruari
Sorcha
Siobhan

From these names, I like Deirdre and Mona best.

without knowing more about said character I would say, NOT the ones I can't figure out how to pronounce, fx. the first and last on this list.

It's a cyberpunk Tanis, essentially.

Aoife is pronounced Ay-vah
and Siobhan is Shuh-vahn

I like Ruori and Sorcha, as they don't sound quintessentially "fantasy" to me.
