Thoughts on vs. Niamh (Neeve) vs. Sadhbh (Sive)

Hi! I was hoping to gather some opinions on some of these names and spellings. I have no family ties or anything but I really love Irish names. As an American, they are unique and striking, but not too obscure or trendy. I feel it is a fine line between the traditional and Anglicized spellings of the names, though. I love the idea of honoring traditional spellings and that seems to make sense for a name like Niamh, but for some, like Sadhbh or Eilidh, it seems like it could be too obscure looking or create inconveniences. Thoughts?

Help! I love the name Guinevere, but I can't think of a really good brother and sister name for her. Since Guinevere is so empowering, I want the next names to be powerful as well. Thanks, Genie!
Baby Name Genie:
You seek the Holy Grail of names. Let me help you in your quest. The brother of fair Guinevere will fight on foot with swords aplenty, but on his horse he'll surely lance a lot. Name him Edward for a regal name. A sister could be dubbed Katherine if greatness is what you desire.
