Eilidh and Máire
For those who were curious to see the dogs, here they both are. Eilidh is the white one on the left (she arrived from her previous owners known as Ellie, and this was about the closest Gaelic near-homophone we could come up with on the fly, and her name means 'light'); Máire Dubh (a play on the name of Irish singer Mary Black) is on the right.
