-==Norse==
-* We have found the name  Sunneva - <Sunneva> is documented from "Jensen's Scandinavian Personal Names in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire" (pp. 271 - 272) sn. Sunnifa. Commentary pointed out that per the google books preview of FJ, <Sunneva> appears in the Latin ablative, 1121-27; based on this it is after the cutoff for mixing Scandinavian and English.
-==Russian==
-* Niva is found as a period masculine name in Russian (нива), although it's a grammatically feminine word
-** Niva (m) -- Ivan Niva, executioner, 1558. [http://heraldry.sca.org/names/paul/n.html Wickenden, 2nd edition]
-** нива (fem) cornfield per SlovoEd dictionary (note that maize is out of period).
-** нива means ager (Latin, field), arvus (Latin, plowed), пашня (plowed field), поле (field), oобработанное подъ пашню (worked/cultivated under plowed field) and dates as far back as the 11th century per Volume II pp. 445-446 of Sreznevsky, I.I. ''Материали для Словаря Древней Русского Языка'' (<u>Material for a Dictionary of the Ancient Russian Language</u>) available online on various sites (and downloaded on Sofya la Rus' computer).
-* Need support for a feminine Niva/нива, which would allow Niva in rauða instead of the masculine form, Niva inn rauði [sic]
-# Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence regarding Russian women's names because:
-## Men's names are attested much MUCH more than women's names.  N.M. Tupikov's Slovar' drevne-russkikh lichnykh sobstvennykh imen [Dictionary of Ancient Russian Personal Names] has a 465-page given names section with only 4 pages (!) of women's names per Wickenden, https://heraldry.sca.org/names/paul/zpreface.html
-## Russian men fairly frequently used grammatically feminine names.  Given the disparity in men's vs. women's names, there are more "feminine" men's names documented than all women's names combined, see also Sofya la Rus' notes at [http://sofyalarus.org/index.php?title=Gender_Bending_Names Gender Bending Names]
-# Names used by both men and women (all per Wickenden) come in a wide variety: Bela (white), Belka (squirrel), Boika (fight), Desha (ten), Dobritsa (good), Dragin'ia (dear), Groza (terror), Kalia (dirt), Kasha (porridge), Kata (rolling), Krasa (beautiful), Kudra (curl), Kuna (quill), Kunka (marten), Leva (lion), Liuba (love), Maliuta (small), Mana (attract), Manka (lure), Miakusha (soft), Milenia (dear), Mira (peace/earth), Nedelia (week), Olenka (hart), Ovtsa (sheep), Paraskov'ia (Friday), Radka (joy), Sel'ianka (peasant, of the field), Shchuka (pike), Sina (blue), Vera (faith), Vladyka (rule), Voina (war)... most Wickenden 2nd edition, a couple only in 3rd edition
-# Wickenden's [https://heraldry.sca.org/names/toprus.html Locative Bynames in Russia] lists very few bynames based on geographic landscape features, such as поле (field), few are grammatically feminine and, not surprisingly, none of them are documented as women's names
-# Plant-based names [http://www.goldschp.net/archive/plantnames.html Botanical Bynames in Russian]:
-## Ol'kha (f) -- dim of Ol'ga per Wickenden 2nd edition, but ol'kha also Alder -- Ol'khin (from ol'kha, 1540)
-## Riabina (m) -- "female [sic] slave" even though documented as a man's name - Riabina, peasant, 1495. but also mountain ash (tree) per [http://www.goldschp.net/archive/plantnames.html Botanical Bynames in Russian]
-## Sosnin (byn) -- "pine." Osif Iakovlev syn Sosnin, 1573.  Doesn't specify if parent, Sosna, was male or female (although most likely male)
-## Ivin (byn) -- "willow." Belianka Ivin, Sviiazhsk boiar's son, 1614.  Ditto.
