TiffanyNiels-Peter jumped out at me, definitely not one I've seen before (not a big Nordic community where I am). I've also never seen Roneil or Skigh (neither are in the databse, either).Denva... I'm hoping that's an ethnic name with which I'm unfamiliar, and not the British English pronunciation of Denver.***Please rate my personal name lists:www.behindthename.com/pnl/69381

Roneil is an Indian name. Skigh I think is just a hippie spelling of Sky, and I have a hunch he changed it as an adult.This was in Western Australia not Britain but yeah, the WA accent is non-rhotic, so -er words are pronounced the same as -a words. Tuner and tuna are pronounced exactly the same for example. Denva = Denver.
