You are correct.  After having the submitter return to their research 
they forwarded the following URL: 
http://www.panix.com/~mittle/names/tangwystyl/pictnames/pict3_4.html#section3

If you scroll down this article to the section "B. The Roman Era (and 
Latinate Constructions in General)" and continue to the list under 
the point "1. Given Names", then you will find two lists under this 
point.  The second, longer list contains a name marked as a feminine 
form which is "C[uno]vinda".

So, what the submitter is considering (after comments) is a name in 
the form "C[uno]vinda ingen Chainnigh".  (The patronymic comes from 
Magnus' post on this name.)  I freely admit to not being a name 
person.  With this better documentation of the correct spelling/given 
name and a period patronymic taken from Magnus' comments, how sayeth 
the list?  Is there enough to make a submission attempt? 
Considering, as Magnus wrote, that "Reading Tangwystyl's article 
makes me think there is no wierdness
combining Pictish and Gaelic because of the strong Gaelic influence 
on names", I am inclined to try.

Also, can someone tell me what the "[uno]" represents?  Is it Da'uded 
text for something?
