Niva in Rauda

Full Name Desired

• Neva In Rauda.

• 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.

• Niva is found as a period masculine name in Russian (нива), although it's a feminine word ('cornfield'). You can combine Russian and Norse. You might have to use the masculine form of in rauða (which is inn rauði) to make the name consistent for gender. Rebecca Le Get might be able to support a feminine Niva/нива, which would get you Niva in rauða, but Niva inn rauði should be registerable. http://heraldry.sca.org/names/paul/n.html
