Has anyone heard the name Felipe/Felipa Neri much?



I found this blip about Neri it sounds Italian:

3) Catalana Di Neri. New Name.

(Würm Wald)

The client attaches a letter from Saint Gabriel (#1737) but provides no summary (again, my apologies for any error in summarizing the contents). The name (spelled Catalana di Neri) is described as "typical" of late 15th century Italy. Catalana is documented from Benicoeur, "Feminine Given Names from the Online Catasto of Florence of 1427" (http://www.panix.com/~mittle/names/arval/ catasto) and in Lyth, "Italian Renaissance Women's Names" (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/rhian/italian. html). Neri is a man's name and documented as a short form of Raneri or Guarnieri. Those names [including the short form??] are found in laVolpe, "Men's Names from Florence" (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/ferrante/catast o) and in De Felici, Nomi (no page number provided) under "Neri." The client desires a period late 15th century Italian name and cares most about having an Italian name.

We should probably remove the capitalization of the middle element to match the documentation.
