   I still could not find an independent listing, though it should be noted
that a few name suggest the option of Ægela such as Cuþa which could have be
a shortened form of Cuþberht or any other version starting with cuþ-.  If
the original name were something like Ægelwulf, a short, familiar Ægela
might be feasible.
   I will try keep looking.
