| Baldwin of Erebor | 1986.05.18 | The policy of the College of Arms is that secondary names (household names and alternate personae) may be registered only in conjunction with a badge. If she wishes to protect her former name, she will need to associate it with a badge. [BoE, 18 May 86, p.8] |
| Wilhelm von Schlüssel | 1981.01.23 | We only allow one name per person in the College files. You can change this official name, but you cannot register two names. WVS [34] [LoAR 23 Jan 81], p. 9 |
| Wilhelm von Schlüssel | 1980.02.13 | [N., called M.] If M. is a nickname this is acceptable usage, but if M. is an alternate persona it should not appear in the name. Personally don't like the [use] of "called" and "known as" as it clutters the formal name with nicknames, but I'm not ruling on personal likes and dislikes. I think it would have been better to have said "called the M.," as that is more proper usage. WVS [11] [LoAR 13 Feb 80], p. 1 |
