Have Letters, Need Names!

Can you form any names that you like, whether traditional, modern or creative, that are made up of only subsets of the following letters: PADANETNLRAINCEIYA?

Each letter can be used only as many times as it appears in this "word," for example: there are 4 A's that can be used, 3 N's, only 1 Y, and so on. And any possible name should have at least 4 letters, but there is no upper limit on letters. I've found several names in there, such as Anna and Alice; but I know that there are lots of creative people that participate in this board, and I'd love to see what you can come up with!

(The backstory is this: we've realized we probably shouldn't use Patricia, my personal favorite, for reasons WAY too convoluted to explain in a short message (trust me, long story). So the letters above come from Patricia plus other family names.)

Hi- Have you found any names that you like from the lists of names people have given? Are you still thinking of going in that direction or in another direction with a name?

Hi,

Yes, I liked many of the names that people found, and they inspired me to find a couple more of my own. I am so grateful to everyone for their ideas. I narrowed the possibilities down to 10, and I've decided to take all 10 (plus Patricia, just in case at the last minute I decide I have to use it, despite other factors) with me. I'll make the final decision when I see her - either one name will jump out at me when I hold her, or I'll just have to bite the bullet and pick one. Either way, I think it will be fun. Plus, I can honestly answer when people ask about names, "I haven't decided yet, I'll decide when I see her." (I learned the hard way not to talk about potential names with family, including in-laws - too much strife.)
