Given what we know of the two tribes so far, I'd hazard a guess that the Veena are your northern names and the Rava are your southern ones. Based on that, I went ahead and named my Veena alt Sonja Forsberg.

I grant you, the actual conventions would be better, and googling name meanings is kind of a pain, but I hope that helps out some folks anyway!
There doesn't appear to be a difference between Rava and Veena first names in the name generator, though. And it was Rava Viera (or their equivalent) that we met in FFXII, all of whom had Icelandic-sounding names (except Fran, but her name is still European rather than Near Eastern or South Asian). Honestly, I can't help wondering if we haven't gotten naming conventions for Viera yet simply because there are none - the generator mainly contains the names of Viera characters in other FF games, which have not all followed the same naming criteria.

I ended up giving both my Veena and my Rava Icelandic names. Since my introduction to the Viera race was FFXII, it just felt right.
