Names like Colleen and Erin are American creations to honor Irish ancestry.
When you "translate' them into Irish they mean 'girl' or "Ireland' and probably make little sense to speakers of Irish.
In recent times American-style names have become somewhat popular in the English-speaking population of Ireland; they are usually left in their original spelling although the surname may have a 'Gaelic' spelling.
That said, the Irish word is spelled 'cailín' (girl).
