so i wrote my adopted aunt in ireland and this's what she says...

even though you've probly named her by now, just had to throw tthese out
there.

wolf: madadh-alluidh

(madadh means dog of any kind)

otter: madadh-donn
fox: madadh-ruadh ( il like just plain ruadh - means somethin glike Red)


what really comes to mind  (though it's not MY job to name her)

meadhrach: . glad, joyful, festive, lively

sounds something like Maydrrachhh
