Maeve. Pretty name likely to be pronounced and spelled correctly.
Bronagh in print makes me think Brony.

Bronagh looks like the name for a dude or for a girl who is very strapping and manly

I used to live in Ireland so well acquainted with these names. However, the "Bronaghs" I knew while over there spelled it Brona.

At least some people will have encountered the name Maeve before. Bronagh will be pronounced Brawn-ag, no one will be able to spell it, etc.

Other Irish names I love;
Niamh. NO
Sadhbh. NO
Aisling
Clodagh. NO
Orla/Orlaith. NO
Ciara
Laoise. NO
Siofra. No
Aoife. Probably not.

I think Maeve is lovely, but I think some Americans may fumble the pronunciation.
I guarantee that Americans will mispronounce and misspell Bronagh. Also, my first impression was to confuse it with Branagh (as in Kenneth).

Ireland. That is where “these people” are coming from. These are both classic Irish names, you idiot.
Simmer down, pendeja.
