Or there is HIRADWA for Este, with HI at the beginning.
Or HELINYETILLE for Nessa, which again has HI, but not in a 'bookending' capacity.

The other 4 Valie don't seem to have any other names beginning with H.

Hmmm ...

HIRADWA has HI + AWARD. I suppose an award can take the form of an ornamental plate. Wimbledon awards a silver plate instead of a cup, I think. And you used to get a Wedgewood plate in the UK for your hundredth blood donation, (you might still, but I never got that far!)

Oh! And 'around' could just mean mix up 'award.' It could be an anagram indicator for the second element, rather than an 'encase everything else' indicator.

...

I wonder *which* month Ranuin was supposed to represent!
