Given her magic, and magnitude - your Ohio baby deserves a name
reflective of that, one derived from Celtic antiquity. Suggestion:
Brighid, Brigit or Brigid

Background:
"The Exalted One" - Brigit was one of the Triple Goddesses of the
Celtic people. Goddess of the fire. She was Protectress of smyths,
healers and poets. She was the High Mother Goddess of Ireland and
survived Christianity.

As one of the most popular goddesses worshipped by the Celtic peoples,
including the druids, many of her stories and symbology survive in the
persona of Saint Brigid. She is the goddess of all things perceived
to be of relatively high dimensions such as high- rising flames,
highlands, hill-forts and upland areas; and of activities and
states conceived as psychologically lofty and elevated, such as
wisdom, excellence, perfection, high intelligence, poetic eloquence,
craftsmanship (especially blacksmithing), healing ability, druidic
knowledge and skill in warfare. In the living traditions, whether
seen as goddess or saint, she is largely associated with the home and
hearth and is a favorite of both Pagans and Christians. (Retrieved
