I can't really give advice - either positive or negative.  (Standard policy
for folks holding a sovereign of arms office.  I'm also precious short of
research time for some reason... *grin*)

But I can give you some places to start.  It looks like you've already done
some good footwork.

You say he wants Caoimhe.  Has the submitter told you where he got it or
what he thinks it means?  Something like that could give you a clue of
which direction to go next.

Also, depending on what his answer is, you may want to use the article
"Quick and Easy Gaelic Names" at

http://www.medievalscotland.org/scotnames/quickgaelicbynames/

to help construct the name.

Hope this helps some.
