Another name which I will provide in comments, which is Irish, feminine-coded or gender-neutral, and does not begin with M
3 (12.0%)

I have my favorite among the above choices, but I'm not sure it suits the character. And one of the two M characters has to be renamed, and the other M character I'm more attached to the name she's already got.

ETA: Okay, y'all can stop now. I forget how to close the poll, though.

Siobhan or Shannon?

(Also I thought Fiona was Welsh, but perhaps it's Irish too!)

*nod*

behindthename.com says Scottish and English, actually. But it's the feminine of an Irish-mythology name so I'm counting it.

What, no Caitlin? Niamh? Sinéad? There are a few female Seans floating around, so that could be gender-neutral.

Bridget needs more love :) It has gone out of use :(

Aisling? (Ashleen)

And a very Irish nurse during my recent week in hospital was an Aine(Onya).

And seeing as I'm on a roll with the As, there's the very Catholic Assumpta.

I am also fond of Aisling!
