Ayrie Mekai Jones Murphy.  The perfect name.

Ayrie: (n.) The nest of a bird, such as an eagle, built on a cliff or other high place.

Birds: Birds play a prominent role in Celtic myth and legend.  As symbols of freedom and transcendence, they represent the human soul in flight, liberated from earthly ties, able to soar in spiritual communication with the heavens.  Returning to earth, they bring messages of prophecy and guidance, aiding mortals on their spiritual and earthly journeys.  As spirits of the air, they provide a link between the soul and the spiritual forces of the heaven.
