The form "Ogmia" occurs in an inscription from northern England. I'm not sure about the endings of minor declension, and hope Chris will elucidate this OIr -a business.

Does the cluster -gm- < Celtic -gm- ?
I'd never find a good guide to Celtic phonetical equations, specially Irish and Welsh. So, it's plausible Ogme and Eufydd < *Ogmiyos, but I think Irish -a < *-aks, -ants (at least). However, there's also the alternation Dagda/Dagde (<Dagodevos, sure?).
