Celtic Mythical Characters
What a good name for a mythical homeland in a fictional narrative?

I write a story and I encounter a period difficult to come up with a name for the new home for the main characters. The story involves magic and folklore a bit similar to The Lord the Rings or Eragon. The native land is a hilly wooded area nestled in the kind of middle of nowhere. I'm looking for a name that is simple, like at home, and have somewhat of a Celtic or Irish ring to it. I do not want the name to sound like it is a scam of some other story, but I'm OK with names of folklore true. I am eager to begin the story with the sentence: "The wind has swept the hills of the name of the country []"… So I want the name to fit well in this sentence.

Something like Calloway or melodic or Topinstown Killarney
