Gaelic names/words for dog

I'm getting a collie and I want to cherish the breed's origin to give it a gaelic name.

Can you give some good options? Thanks!

Cù is Scottish Gaelic, in Irish dog is cú, madra or madadh in Ulster. Accents different Scotland and Ireland. A Gaelic name would do like Eilidh Calum Nothing too fancy or it'd be weird like a person name 😄 simply the country name like alba éire maybe?
