Our first son is Finn Alexander and we have a shortish last name that starts with a D. We won't be finding out the sex of this baby until birth so need to come up with at least one boy and one girl name. If it's a girl, DW really wants to use her middle name for the baby's middle name and I'm not sure I can fight that, so it will be Littlewood. We really like Irish names but don't want anything too hard to pronounce or spell as we've both been victims of unusual spelling/pronunciation. Any ideas?

I would suggest Fiona but with already having a Finn I see that sort of like naming your children Michael and Michelle... a ton of confusion would follow...
I love the name Norah but... and I suppose the same could be said for ANY name... people may still think it is the less common spelling Nora
Bridget is a very strong Irish name... which as I already said people may automatically assume it is spelled differently but that will happen undoubtedly for any name... I even have a brother Kyle whos name is often misspelled as Kiel...
With the middle name I really like Norah... and I think it fits with Finn without being too similar like Fiona
Then, these are just MY opinions
