Ouch. You obviously don't know Revenwyn very well. And you're my fiance!

She's got reddish-blonde hair. If I created someone with black hair, I wouldn't say that I wanted a Rohirric-type name, would I?
Sorry I'm sounding harsh hon, I just thought that after I showed you all my drawings of her you'd know what she looked like...

If you divide it up re-ven-wyn, then I get "delights in renewed hope." Re- from Latin meaning "again", -ven- is close to wen- from Old English/Rohirric meaning "hope", and -wyn from Old English/Rohirric meaning "joy, or delight" (not "woman," that's cyn or cene).

Oh wow... thanks... yeah that does sound like her quite a bit. Thanks for your help. However, they wouldn't use 're' part of it would they?

Maybe it's influence from Westron/English?
