You could still go with "Skarrgarð" if it is the sound of the name that
is important.  That would be like, oh, "Cattle-Raid Grounds" or
"Skirmish Farm" or "Small Scale Melee Yard".  That one should pass.  As
would "Skarðagarð" ("Smaller Farmyard"), since it the same kind of
formation as "Skarðaborg", which we know as "Scarborough".

Not to say you should go with either one.  If you guys want "Coille
Bran", that's fine with me too.  Where one found Irish place names, one
usually found Norsemen... :)
