I don't know many Celtic gods, but a lot of Wicca use Greek mythology gods, like Pan, I believe.

I don't understand your question. I am guessing that you are a Wiccan who believes in the universal God and Goddess (all gods are one God, and all goddesses are one Goddess), which is okay. But, why then do you need to give them names of deities that have long been considered distinct entities? And why Celtic, specifically?

The main ones I call upon are Cerridwen and Cernunnos. Two others that are prominent are Danu and Dagda. Here's a brief overview I found: http://www.wicca.com/celtic/wicca/celtic.htm

To be honest, she is just viewed as the Triple Goddess.
The most frequent name is Diana, there is also Dianic Wicca.
So if you must name the Goddess then you should call her Diana, as for the God, he is usually viewed as The Horned God.
The most frequent name for him is Pan, which has Greek routes & Celtic routes.
I worship the Goddess however still believe the horned god to be a real entity.
As for the rest of the Gods whether it be Isis or Zeus, I believe them to be entity's/ways of life that can be invoked through the soul & mind.
Some however believe them to be living Deitys, but you believe what you want to believe in that's the great thing about Paganism & Wicca.
But to answer your question based on Celtic mythology, I'm really sorry I dint know where Diana's origins come from but I'm sure it doesn't really matter.

I'm not a Wiccan but I know some of the Irish Celtic deities:
Dagda-he is also called the "Good God" because he protected crops. He was the King/Leader of the Tuatha DE Dannan, His tree is the Yew. He was the owner of the Cauldron of Plenty.

Boand-The Goddess of the Boyne river, and inspiration Gave birth to Dagda's son Aengus Mac Og,


Morrigan- Irish Goddess of War, Strife and Fertility, often compared to the Valkyries. She is often depicted as a Crow.

Cerridwen and Cernunnos are very appropriate for this time of year as Ceridwen is the keeper of the cauldron and Cernunnos is the God of the underworld.
