6: Medb ingen Magnusa Ruaidh -New Name (NP)

Submitter desires a feminine name.
The following changes are allowed: spelling, construction of byname
Language/Culture (irish language/culture) most important.

Consulting Herald BrĂ­an dorcha ua Conaill.
Submitter is from Stormhold.

The intention is for my name to mean "Medb daughter of Magnus the Red"

I used the simple patronymic byname pattern for women's names found here:

http://medievalscotland.org/scotnames/quickgaelicbynames/

And the names/bynames found here, using the genitive form of the masculine names instead of the nominative form:

https://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Magnus.shtml

https://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/DescriptiveBynames/Ruadh.shtml

With reference to masculine descriptive bynames (for the "Red" portion of the name) found here:

https://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/DescriptiveBynames/

The consulting herald suggested that the spelling "Medb" instead of "Meadhbh", and "ingen" instead of "inghean" might be more appropriate for earlier period, so I shifted the spelling to reflect this.
