This name was pended to allow commenters to discuss an authenticity request for a Mongolian name. Mongolian names consisting of three elements instead of two are not authentic, but this name is registerable.
This name was pended from the October 2015 Letter of Acceptances and Returns.
(to Ćthelmearc acceptances) (to Ćthelmearc returns)
The submitter requested authenticity for an Italian name. All elements can be found in Florence in 1427, so this is an authentic 15th century Tuscan name.
The submitter's previous name, Cara da Fortuna, is retained as an alternate name.
The submitter is a duke and thus entitled to the use of coronets on his armory.
The submitter preferred the name Leora if it could be documented. Unfortunately, this spelling was not found until the 18th century.
Submitted under the name Tyrrikr Magnason.
Silverhart is the registered name of an SCA branch.
Weylyn follows the pattern of a late period English surname used as a given name. The submitted form is an interpolated form of the attested bynames Waylin, Waylen, and Weyland, all found in the FamilySearch Historical Records dated between 1539 and 1601. The -lyn spelling also appears at this time, with the examples Jacklyn, Tolyn, and Sterlyn all found in the same source.
(to An Tir acceptances) (to An Tir returns)
Andrew is the submitter's legal given name. It is also an attested Catalan name found in the FamilySearch Historical Records, dated to 1601. Therefore, the submitter need not rely on the legal name allowance.
This name combines an Iberian given name and Italian byname. This is an acceptable lingual mix under Appendix C of SENA.
The submitter's old device, Vert, a wolf rampant maintaining a cross crosslet fitchy and on a base argent a sheaf of arrows vert, is released.
This is the feminized form of an attested name, documented by Metron Ariston in an inscription from England, dated to c.253-8 (http://romaninscriptionsofbritain.org/inscriptions/2042).
Nice 3rd century Roman name!
Submitted under the name Líadan inghean Fináin.
It might interest the submitter to know that, in commentary, Metron Ariston noted that "for a period style cross-cultural translingual pun, the word on the chief really ought to be humilitatis (for a genitive of substance) or humile (for a real "humble pi" since that takes the pi as neuter)."
Rachel is the submitter's legal middle name. It is also an attested German given name found in the FamilySearch Historical Records, dated to 1560. Therefore, the submitter need not rely on the legal name allowance.
This name combines a German given name and Italian byname. This is an acceptable lingual mix under Appendix C of SENA.
(to Ansteorra acceptances) (to Ansteorra returns)
Although the order name Order of the Gryphon's Talon of Artemisia is registered to the kingdom, the addition of the color modifier is not grandfathered. We do not have examples of gryphon's talons as heraldic charges, nor do we have examples that follow the pattern color + possessive form of a monster + body part. Therefore, we cannot redocument this order name instead of attempting to use the grandfather clause.
Dropping Golden essentially gives us the same order name that the kingdom has already registered, so this cannot be done in this case. However, Order of the Gryphon and Talon, Order of the Golden Talon, and Order of the Golden Gryphon and Talon would all be registerable, as would Order of the Golden Talon of Artemisia. We are returning this name so that the kingdom can consider their options.

Multiple commenters documented the place name Trastevere in Italy in the 16th and early 17th century. For example, the locative phrase del Trastevere is found in Le Cose maravigliose dell'alma cittŕ di Roma by Girolamo Franzini, 1575 (https://books.google.com/books?id=HPc5AAAAcAAJ&pg=PA151).
Nice 16th century Italian name!
There is a step from period practice for a comet with different tinctures for head and beard.
This badge was pended from the October 2015 Letter of Acceptances and Returns to resolve administrative issues.
There is a step from period practice for use of charges in annulo not in their default orientation.

The fact that the heads are barely overall and have low contrast with the field is grandfathered to the submitter.
Please advise the submitter to draw the erasing with longer jags.
The submitter's old device, Gules, a saltire Or, overall in base two grey wolf's heads erased addorsed conjoined at the necks proper. [Canis lupus], is released.
Submitted as Caiterína Cu MacCraith, the byname combined the Gaelic Caiterína and Cu with the Scots MacCraith. However, Cu is dated no later than the 7th century, and MacCraith is dated to the 16th century. The temporal gap is greater than 300 years, so this lingual mix is not acceptable under Appendix C of SENA.
The submitter allowed a change to Caiterína MacCraith of Granite Mountain. We have made this change to register the name.
Granite Mountain is the registered name of an SCA branch.
Submitted as Cyra Gabrielakitissa Radene, the name uses both c and k to represent the Greek letter kappa. In order to use a consistent transliteration throughout the entire name, we have changed the name to Cyra Gabrielacitissa Radene.
Appearing on the Letter of Intent as Ernín Ainshearsccar Ó Raghallaigh, a timely correction noted that the first byname should have been Ainsheasccar.
The submitter requested authenticity for a 12th-14th century Gaelic name. Ernín is a saint's name, for which we have no evidence of use by other people. In addition, the bynames are dated to the 15th and 16th centuries, respectively. Therefore, this name does not meet the submitter's request for an authentic 12th-14th century name, but it is registerable.
The submitter's previous name, Ernín Beag Ó Caoimhín, is released.
Jacquelin is grandfathered to the submitter. It is also an attested female given name used by a French Huguenot in London in 1641, found in the FamilySearch Historical Records. Therefore, the submitter need not rely on the grandfather clause.
The submitter's previous name, Jacquelin of Normandy, is released.
Submitted as Manoir du Blanc Fleur, the question was raised whether the submitted household name is grammatically correct. In French, fleur is a feminine noun, but blanc is a masculine adjective. The French form would be Manoir de la Blanche Fleur, using the feminine form of the adjective. The submitter specifically authorized a change to this form, so we have done so to register this household name.
In commentary, Siren documented le flur (in the phrase le flur de segle "rye flour") and le fleur ("flour") in The Anglo-Norman Dictionary (AND; http://www.anglo-norman.net), s.v. fleur, making it appear as though fl(e)ur could also take a masculine form in Anglo-Norman context (i.e., French as used in Norman England). All examples we found of fleur with a modifier, whether referring to a flower or culinary flour, used feminine forms of the adjectives. For example, both flur blanche ("white flour") and belle flur ("fine flour") are also found in the AND. In Middle English we find names derived from the French: the bynames le Blancheflour (c.1300, found in Jönsjö) and Blauncheflur (1228, found in the Middle English Dictionary), and the 15th century literary name Blancheflur (MED). We found no instances of the French Blanc or the English Blaunke modifying any form of "flower", so du Blanc Fleur is not a plausible construction.
Manors in both French and English are typically named after places. Examples include le manor de Bromesgrave and le manoir de Asshewelthorp (AND). However, several examples of manors named with inn-sign name patterns were also found. Manoir de la Rose is found in a 14th century letter by the bishop of Carlisle that was written in French, in James Raine, Historical Papers and Letters from the Northern Registers (https://books.google.com/books?id=GAhrh-3Xyd4C&pg=PA408). Manor of the Rose is documented to the 16th century in Walter Thornbury, 'Upper Thames Street', in Old and New London: Volume 2 (http://www.british-history.ac.uk/old-new-london/vol2/pp28-41). Mathault identifies the Manoir du petit More as the location where he wrote his 1614 book Iugement définitif (see p. 12, https://books.google.com/books?id=2I5EK2v_09EC). Lastly, Manoir de Moulins ("windmills") and Manoir de Fontanelles ("little fountains") are found in Pouillé général contenant les bénéfices de l'archevęché de Tours (https://books.google.com/books?id=qNUsEEz44f8C), published in 1648. The latter two examples may be based on family names derived from charge names (see Morlet Dictionnaire, s.nn. Moulin and Font), but we can give the submitter the benefit of the doubt that Manor or Manoir is an appropriate designator in this case.
The byname the Quiet is a lingua Anglica form of the Old Norse in kyrra.
The submitter's previous name, Rose the Jeweler, is released.
Some commenters wondered if the combination of the name and badge was an obtrusively modern reference to the animated characters Natasha, Rocky and Bullwinkle. It is not.
Some commenters wondered if the badge was too evocative of Gumby and Pokey and thus obtrusively modern. It is not.
Nice Roman name!
In commentary, Green Staff documented al-Hadi in Al-Muwatta, written in the 8th or 9th century (https://books.google.com/books?id=ZUTYAQAAQBAJ). It is also the byname of the 10th iman, Ali.
The submitted form of the given name, Renée (with the accent), is found in La Bienvenue de trčs haulte, trčs illustre et trčs excellente princesse, ma dame Renée de France, duchesse de Ferrare et de Chartres, published in 1561 (http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k8571651.r=Renee).
This identical badge was returned for conflict with the badge of Alasdair MacEogan, (Fieldless) A squirrel sejant erect Or. Due to the changes to the definitions of "maintained" and "sustained" in the August 2015 Cover Letter, this badge no longer conflicts with Alasdair's and can be registered.

Buckston-on-Eno is the registered name of an SCA branch.
Submitted as Cered Gwyn of Kildare, this name conflicted with the registered name Cerridwen of Kildare.

The name was pended in order to allow commenters to consider this change.

The submitter requested authenticity for "English 1200s-1400s", but only if the spelling did not need to be changed.
Eadithe is a genitive (possessive) form dated to 1242 in 'Close Rolls, May 1242', Calendar of Close Rolls, Henry III: Volume 4, 1237-1242 (http://www.british-history.ac.uk/cal-close-rolls/hen3/vol4/pp524-527). The expected nominative (base) form is Eaditha, for which Eadith is a plausible vernacular form. As i/y switches are common in Middle English, the submitted spelling is also registerable.
As the given name is a mid-13th century form and the byname is dated to 1332, this name fits the submitter's desired time period, but the 90-year temporal gap means that this name may not be authentic to the same time. However, it is registerable.
The submitter was interested in a late 14th century English name. The given name is found in England throughout much of our period, but the byname was only dated to 1244 in the Letter of Intent. The latest example of the byname that could be found is dated to 1344 (Middle English Dictionary).
Nice 13th to 14th century English name!
Although documented as a byname from the 1630s in the Letter of Intent, Barnsley is also dated to 1578, within 5 years of the given name (see Bardsley, s.n. Barnsley).
Nice 16th century English name!
For purpose of conflict checking the closed books are identical to billets.
The given name is found in Reaney & Wilson, s.n. Grace, dated to 1232-5, within 12 years of the byname.
Nice 13th century English name!
The Letter of Intent cited the example Greylond de Haveriis to support the given name. However, the attested name is actually Joh. Greylond de Haveriis. Therefore, Greylond is a byname in this name, and cannot be registered as a given name because the pattern of using surnames as given names is allowed only for 16th and 17th century surnames.
In commentary, ffride wlffsdotter documented the name Greylond Bevers in Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem (https://www.british-history.ac.uk/inquis-post-mortem/vol13/pp178-195), dated to c.1373. Therefore, we are able to register this name.
The redraw and update of the forms were timely and thus this device is registerable.
The submitter preferred the accented form Héloďse de Bruyčres if it could be documented. However, evidence to support the use of the accents in the period French forms of these name elements could not be found.
The submitter's previous name, Adeline de Bruyeres, is released.
This badge does not conflict with the device of Brand the Black: Checky sable and Or, a seawolf erect argent. There is a DC for the difference between fielded and fieldless design and another DC for the difference between a sea-dog, which is a finned canine quadruped, and a sea-wolf, which has a fish tail.
It also does not conflict with the badge of Diana ni Charvell: Counter-ermine, a sea-dog rampant maintaining in dexter paw an arrow and in sinister paw a sword argent, with a DC for the field and another for removing the maintained charges.
Kira is the submitter's legal given name.
There is a step from period practice for use of New World trillium flowers.
The submitter requested authenticity for an unspecified place and time. The submitter dropped this request during commentary.
Capri is found as an unmarked Italian byname in Canzone di Michel Capri (https://books.google.com/books?id=ijPB0ruxD8cC), dated to 1577. Therefore, we are able to register this name.
An authentic form of her name is Lisabetta di Palermo de Capri. Golden Dolphin was notified that this form was acceptable to the submitter, but also commented that the submitter "likes the name as close as possible to what was submitted". As this made it sound as if the submitted form was still preferred over the authentic form, we have not modified the name. If Lisabetta prefers the more authentic form, she can submit a request for reconsideration.
The submitter's previous name, Jasper Armeley, is released.
Magnus is dated to 1401 and Ulfson to 1407 in Diplomatarium Danicum, making this a nice early 15th century Danish name!
This name does not conflict with the registered name Magni Ulfsson. The vowel and final consonant of the second syllable of the given name have been changed. As the change in spelling (including the removal of the final consonant) affects at least two letters in the final syllable, this change is substantial and the name is clear under PN3C2 of SENA.
This name combines a Scots given name and Gaelic byname. This is an acceptable lingual mix under Appendix C of SENA.
The submitter is a court baroness and thus entitled to the use of a coronet in her heraldry.
Because of the August 2015 ruling that allows maintained charges to count for difference, this badge is now free of conflict.
This exact name is found in the FamilySearch Historical Records, dated to 1585, 1624, and 1647, making this an excellent late period English name!

There is a step from period practice for the use of a gore with another charge on the field.
Submitted as Thorkel Odinson, the name was changed in kingdom to Thorkel Odinsson to match the documentation that could be found.
The Letter of Intent documented Thorkel as a 15th century given name in Diplomatarium Norvegicum, but the attested name is actually Thorkell in this example. However, ffride wlffsdotter found the submitted spelling in Lind, dated to the 14th century, so we do not need to change this element.
In commentary, Siren documented patronyms where the father's name was not changed to a genitive (possessive) form in Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian in the 14th-15th centuries. As Odin was found in 15th century Norway, both the -son and -sson spellings can be used. Therefore we can restore the submitted spelling of the byname.

The use of the the notation ü is also found at this time, so the submitted spelling is plausible.
Both the sphinx and cartouche are registerable charges. Therefore, they are permitted in order names:
Therefore, we rule that blazonry terms used in the SCA for charges used in period armory and for charges compatible with period practice (that is, those charges that are not considered a step from period practice) will be allowed in order names and heraldic titles. This does not extend to blazonry terms that were not used to create order names and heraldic titles (like lines of division). [Aquaterra, Barony of, Order of the Blue Kraken, July 2011, A-An Tir]
Avacal College of Scribes and Illuminators is a generic identifier.

Upon her death, the submitter's registered names and armory will be transferred to Rodhlann Ó Ceallacháin. In the event that Rodhlann predeceases Muirghein and no other heir has been named by Muirghein in the interim, she grants permission to any future submitter to register names and armory that are not identical to her registered primary name, household name, device and badge.
This design was well documented as an Individually Attested Pattern using the Codex Mendoza, a 1542 Aztec document prepared for Charles V.

This device was pended from the October 2015 Letter of Acceptances and Returns.

This exact name is dated to 1572 and 1575 in the FamilySearch Historical Records, making this an excellent late 16th century English name!

The dated form of the byname in the Letter of Intent, Walcot' (with a scribal suspension), supports the spelling Walcote. In commentary, Ogress documented the submitted spelling in the FamilySearch Historical Records, dated to 1566.
Commenters questioned the use of a masculine byname by a woman in French, although this pattern is documented in Middle English. The byname le Jeune was used by a woman in 1530 in "Names from Lallaing 1384 - 1600: Feminine Ekenames" by Domhnall na Moicheirghe (http://heraldry.sca.org/names/lallaing/lallaing_names_feminine_ekenames.html). As capitalization is variable in period French, the submitted form is plausible and can be registered.
Charles is the submitter's legal given name, but is also an attested German name, found in the FamilySearch Historical Records, dated to 1622. Therefore, the submitter need not rely on the legal name allowance.
Bull's horns or buffalo's horns are found in German crests by the 14th century (see Gelre), and in the arms of von Pfiltz, dated to 1605 (Siebmacher). Bull's Horn is a lingua Anglica form.

Northgeatham is the registered name of an SCA branch.
(to Ealdormere acceptances) (to Ealdormere returns)
The submitter wanted a constructed byname meaning "nosebreaker". The form refsbrjotr uses the genitive singular form of "nose", whereas all of the examples of "breaker of X" or "X breaker" in Old Norse that could be found use the genitive plural form of X. Examples include hornabrjótr ("breaker of horns"), řxnabrjótr ("oxen breaker"), and garđabrjótr ("breaker of fences"), and haugabrjótr ("breaker of cairns, grave-robber"), all found in Geirr Bassi. Therefore, the plural form of the byname would be nefjabrjotr ("breaker of noses").
We note that at least one prior registration allowed the genitive singular form in a similar name:
Submitted as Ragnarr rifbrjótr, all the documented examples of X-brjótr that were supplied on the LoI and by the commenters have the X element in the genitive case. We have changed the name to Ragnarr rifsbbrjótr [sic] to match the documented examples and fix the grammar. [Ragnarr rifsbrjótr, August 2008, A-Atlantia]
Similarly, a more recent registration stated that the genitive singular form was registerable:
The byname is constructed, with the intended meaning of "stone breaker". The byname needs to use the genitive form of "stone", Steins- ("breaking one rock") or Steina- ("breaking many rocks"). Kingdom confirmed that the submitter prefers the latter, so we have changed the byname to Steinabrjótr. [Óláfr Steinabrjótr, February 2015, A-Ćthelmearc]
Therefore, we will allow the submitted form of the byname in this case, but future registrations of "X breaker" in Old Norse should either use the genitive plural form of X or include documentation to support the use of the genitive singular. If the submitter prefers the plural form nefjabrjotr, he can submit a request for reconsideration.
The Letter of Intent incorrectly stated that the submitter's previous name, Cian Mac Fhearghuis, was to be released. However, in accordance with the submission form, it is retained as an alternate name.

The submitter's previous name, Ragnarr Sigurđarson, is retained as an alternate name.
The submitter requested authenticity for "1580s Tudor England". All elements in this name and the pattern of double bynames can be documented to late 16th century England.
Therion and Storie are grandfathered to the submitter, as they are elements from the registered name of the submitter's father, Therion Sean Storie.
After the Pelican decision meeting, the question was raised whether this submitter would also need a letter of permission to conflict from her father, as Therion Storie is a possible use name for her father. PN3D of SENA states:
To be clear of relationship conflict, the submitted name must not unmistakably imply close relationship with a protected person. This includes, but is not limited to, a claim to be the parent, child, or spouse of a protected person. An unmistakable implication generally requires the use of the entirety of a protected name.
In the present submission, Rose Therion Sean Storie would make such an unmistakable claim of relationship. However, the submitted name, which does not incorporate her father's complete name, does not. Therefore, we are able to register this name within requiring an additional letter of permission to conflict.
Lozenge is a lingua Anglica form of the period losenge.

Submitted as Ferdinand il Toro, we have no evidence that animal bynames in Italian used the definite article il ("the"), although examples of other descriptive bynames using the article lo were documented in the Letter of Intent. We have removed the definite article to register this name. If the submitter prefers the byname lo Toro, he can submit a request for reconsideration.

Green Staff noted during the Pelican decision meeting that Zoe is the given name of a 15th century Byzantine princess found in A History of Byzantium by Timothy E. Gregory (https://books.google.com/books?id=KIFJiOCSYc8C). Tagarina is the expected feminine form of Tagaris, the surname of a 15th century trader found in "The Byzantine Economy in the Mediterranean Trade System; Thirteenth-Fifteenth Centuries" by Angeliki E. Laiou-Thomadakis (Dumbarton Oaks Papers, 1980/1981, 34/35:177-222; http://rbedrosian.com/Byz/Byz_Trade_13-15th.pdf).
After the Pelican decision meeting, Metron Ariston documented Zoe as an 11-12th century Byzantine name, found in "Personal Names of the Aristocracy in the Roman Empire During the Later Byzantine Era" by Bardas Xiphias (http://heraldry.sca.org/names/byzantine/introduction.html) and in "Prosopograhy of the Byzantine World" (http://db.pbw.kcl.ac.uk/jsp/index.jsp). She also documented Tagaris as the surname of Manuel Tagaris, governor of Philadelphia from c.1309. It is also found in "Personal Names of the Aristocracy in the Roman Empire During the Later Byzantine Era", dated to the 14th century. Therefore, he most likely was born sometime in the latter part of the 13th century.
Therefore, this name appears to be authentic for Byzantium in the 15th century. The name may be authentic earlier, but due to the temporal gap between the elements we do not know for sure.

The submitter's previous name, Alexander MacDougall, is released.
There is a step from period practice for the use of a bird other than an eagle in the displayed posture.
The submitter wanted a name as close to "Ajax" as possible. We note that the name Sextius Aiax Dracontius, using the pattern nomen + cognomen + cognomen, would be registerable. Aiax is the Latin form of the modern Ajax and is found in LGPN. If the submitter prefers this form, he can submit a request for reconsideration.
(to Middle acceptances) (to Middle returns)
Emeryk was documented in the Letter of Intent as an unmarked patronym from Poland recorded in German, Frankish, or French. It is also a 14th century Middle English given name, found in Guy de Chauliac's Chirurgia Magna (https://books.google.com.au/books?id=xr0nAQAAIAAJ).
Rivenwood Tower is the registered name of an SCA branch.
This device was previously returned because the submitter attempted to document the arrangement as Japanese armory using an Individually Attested Pattern. Unfortunately, the documentation did not provide enough examples to support the design. Therefore, the submitter appealed in order to re-document this motif under Core Style. As Wreath originally returned this device, the appeal was decided by Pelican.
Ordinarily, framing charges like annulets are treated as secondary charges. Under A3C of SENA, simple geometric shapes are allowed to be voided, but only if they are primary charges. Japanese examples of voided geometric shapes such as octagons, hexagons, and squares can be found in our period as framing charges, so are registerable with a step from period practice for the use of a non-European charge. Examples in O-Umajirushi: A 17th-Century Compendium of Samurai Heraldry by Xavid Pretzer show such geometrics surrounding flowers, stylized tassels, and kanji characters, among other charges.
In the submitted design, the cattails and rabbit are co-primary charges. Unfortunately, commenters were unable to find period examples in either Japanese or European armory of such a co-primary charge group made of more than one type of charge inside a framing charge like an annulet or other simple geometric shape. Therefore, we have returned this device for lack of documentation for this arrangement of charges. Upon resubmission, we note that the voided octagon framing a single type of charge would be acceptable with a step from period practice, barring other problems.
There is a step from period practice for the use of a schnecke with another charge.
Submitted as Willemus De Rodes, the submitter requested authenticity for a 12th century name. Although the Letter of Intent stated that changes are not allowed, this limitation does not appear on the submission form.
The given name was found in England in 1230 in the Letter of Intent, and is also dated to 1196 in the Middle English Dictionary.
The byname de Rodes is found in a Latin letter of Joan of Constantinople, Countess of Flanders (https://epistolae.ccnmtl.columbia.edu/letter/1116.html) dated to 1220. In the 12th-13th centuries, the preposition de would not have been capitalized, so we have changed it to the lower case de to use the earlier form.
This name combines a late 12th to early 13th century English given name and an early 13th century Flemish byname. This is an acceptable lingual mix under Appendix C of SENA, but due to the lingual mix, this name does not meet the submitter's request for an authentic 12th century name.
(to Northshield acceptances) (to Northshield returns)
Submitted as Bjorn the Bastard, the name was changed in kingdom to Bjorn bastarđr.
The submitted byname the Bastard is a lingua Anglica form of the Old Norse inn óborni or hinn óborni, the masculine form of the attested in óborna, found in "Viking Bynames found in the Landnámabók" by Aryanhwy merch Catmael (http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/norse/landnamabok.html). The submitter confirmed that he prefers this form of the name; therefore, we have restored the name to the submitted form.
Elizabeth is the submitter's legal given name. It is also an attested German name, found in "German Names from 1495" by Aryanhwy merch Catmael (http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/german/german1495.html), so the submitter need not rely on the legal name allowance.
This name combines a German given name and Italian byname. This is an acceptable lingual mix under Appendix C of SENA.
The only "documentation" given on the Letter of Intent was a link to a Facebook discussion. This is not appropriate. Documentation in armory also should be summarized with a description of the information and its source. Had the commenters not provided actual documentation, this device would have been returned.
This is the defining instance of a camail in Society heraldry. A camail is a flexible piece of mail attached to the helm to protect the neck and shoulders. It was the badge of George, Duke of Clarence (possibly a cant on "gorget"), and afterward the badge of his grandson, Henry Pole, Baron Montague. The source for this depiction is de Walden's Banners, Standards, and Badges, 1904, which reproduced a manuscript in the English College of Arms c.1510. It can be found online at https://archive.org/stream/bannersstandards00howauoft#page/179/mode/1up.
This is the defining instance of the goddess Fortuna in Society heraldry. This depiction is based on the civic arms of Glückstadt, 1617. The exact nature of the streamer's entwinement is an unblazonable artistic detail.
The submitter's old device, Gules, a scorpion inverted Or between three roses argent, is retained as a badge.
Elmet is a lingua Anglica form of the 7th century Elmed.

Nice 16th century English name!
Please advise the submitter to draw the tuft on the head that usually indicates a dove so as to improve recognizability.
The submitter requested authenticity for Lithuanian. This request was not summarized in the Letter of Intent. However, we had enough information to consider this request rather than pending the name for further commentary.
Algirdas is a standardized Lithuanian form of the Latinized nominative (base) form Algirde, found in William R. Schmalstieg, "Lithuanian Names" (http://www.lituanus.org/1982_3/82_3_01.htm). However, Gozzo is documented only as a German name. Although this is an acceptable lingual mix under Appendix C of SENA, the name does not meet the submitter's request for an authentic Lithuanian name.
Dobrogneva is identified as a feminine given name in Wickenden. However, the question was raised in commentary whether it was a given name or a patronym. As the closely related Dobegneva is a single element name also found in Wickenden, we can give the submitter the benefit of the doubt that Dobrogneva is also a given name.
This name combines a Russian given name and Old Norse byname. This is an acceptable lingual mix under Appendix C of SENA.
Nice 15th century Swedish name!
Please advise the submitter to draw the rat larger and the crescents smaller to remove any ambiguity about the charge groups.
Submitted as Owain Mawr ap Bran, the name was changed by kingdom to Owain Maur ap Bran to match the documentation that could be found.
The spelling Mawr is found in "Welsh Prose, 1350-1425" (http://www.rhyddiaithganoloesol.caerdydd.ac.uk/), so we have restored the submitted form.
(to Trimaris acceptances) (to Trimaris returns)
This is the defining instance of a naga in Society heraldry. The naga is a multi-headed serpent, similar to a hydra. It was described in the 16th Century by Portuguese Jesuit priests who visited what is now Thailand. As a non-European charge, it carries a step from period practice.

None.
(to Ćthelmearc acceptances) (to Ćthelmearc returns)
Blazoned as Per pale wavy argent and sable, two piles wavy in point counterchanged, this doesn't describe what is happening behind the owl. The alternating sections of Or and sable are of equal width and the odd number of sections issuing from the chief does not clearly delineate two piles. In effect, the sable and Or portions of this design are equivalent to pily wavy in point Or and sable. As such, this device conflicts with the badge of Robin of Gilwell, (Fieldless) An owl ermine, with only one DC for Robin's fieldless design.
The Letter of Intent stated that the given name Tyrrikr was constructed from the name of the god Týr. The Letter of Intent asserted that there was a practice of constructing protothemes from deity names, citing Cleasby-Vigfusson. Of the protothemes given, only two were derived from the specific names of gods, as opposed to a more generic term or attribute. These examples were Frey-, later associated with the god Freyr, and Ţór-/Thorr-, referring to Thor. While other examples were provided in the Letter of Intent, these examples did not have sources, making it impossible to confirm their dating and etymology. Thus, they cannot be taken as evidence. As Frey- originally means "lord," that leaves us with a single example of a prototheme specifically derived from the name of a god. A single example is not enough to construct a pattern from.
In 2009, we upheld a 2008 precedent stating that Tyr- is not a registerable theme in a constructed diathematic name:
This is returned for lack of evidence that the Norse god name Tyr was ever used as the name of ordinary people in our period. The June 2008 LoAR says:
There is no evidence that the theme Tyr- is found in diathematic Norse names. Of the similar god name Týr, the Academy of Saint Gabriel report 3332 notes:
All names with <Týr-> or <-týr> in Lind, E.H., Norsk-Isländska Dopnamn ock Fingerade Namn frĺn Medeltiden, (Uppsala & Leipzig: 1905-1915, sup. Oslo, Uppsala and Kobenhavn: 1931) are mythological or fictional.
Without evidence of the use of the themes Tyr- or Týr- in Old Norse, constructed diathematic names may not use these themes. [Saxi bilstyggr Geirsson, LoAR 06/2008, West-A]
Lacking evidence that either Tyr or Týr was used by real people in our period, it is not registerable, either as a given name or as part of a patronymic byname. [Tryggr Tyrson, August 2009, R-An Tir]
In 2010, we ruled the following:
[T]he LoI documented Tyrbrandr as a constructed given name formed from the themes Tyr- and -brandr. While -brandr is a recognized deuterotheme in Old Norse names, the commenters found no support for Tyr-. The two names cited in the LoI to support Tyr- as a protheme were Tyrfingr and Tyrvi. However, Tyr- is not a protheme in these names. In the case of Tyrfinger the themes are Tyrfi- and -ingr. In the case of Tyrfi, it is a single name and is not constructed from a protheme and a deuterotheme. Lacking evidence of Tyr- as a protheme used in Old Norse names, a constructed given name of Tyrbrandr is not plausible. [Ari Tyrbrandr, April 2010, R-Trimaris]
No new examples of Tyr- referring to the god were found. Without additional evidence to show that Tyr- or Týr is a plausible prototheme, or to show that a prototheme can be derived from any specific Norse god's name, we uphold the earlier precedents and return this name.
His device is registered under the holding name Matt of Mountain Edge.

Her device is registered under the holding name Líadan of Wiesenfeuer.
(to Ansteorra acceptances) (to Ansteorra returns)
By longstanding precedent, we do not register fieldless badges that appear to be independent forms of armorial display. Charges such as roundels, cartouches, escutcheons, billets, hearts, lozenges, and so forth are all both standard heraldic charges and "shield shapes" for armorial display. Lozenges ployés do not escape this rule and are considered to be a shield shape for the purposes of this precedent.
The submitter requested authenticity for "Hebridean Norse culture", and requested the connotation of "badly behaved/naughty wolf", but not "evil wolf".
The submitted byname Vand-gylđir is constructed from the elements Vand ("Difficult, troublesome, bad, involving pains and care, ill behaved") and gylđir ("howler, wolf"). The attested example vandrćđaskáld ("Troublesome-poet") is derived from vandrćđi, "difficulty, trouble," rather than directly from vand/vandr. Therefore, this example does not support the construction of the submitted name.
We note that the byname gylđir isn't the normal word for "wolf", as it has more of the sense of "howler." In a compound word, the expected word for "wolf" would be ulfr or vargr. We also have no examples of animal bynames modified in such a manner; the typical formation is animal + body part, such as refskegg ("fox beard"). This name does not fit this pattern. Without evidence that this construction follows an attested pattern, we cannot register this name.
Upon resubmission, we note the bynames illugi ("bad-thought, evil-mind") and ill illi ("bad, evil"), documented in Geirr Bassi by Siren. Double bynames are allowed in Old Norse as long as both bynames could reasonably describe the same person, so a combination of either of these bynames with a wolf byname would be registerable, barring other problems.
Aonghus is grandfathered to the submitter.
This device is returned for conflict with the badge of Angus le Todde Mac Donnell: (Fieldless) A heart Or. There is only one DC for the fielded versus fieldless design. By precedent, enflaming a charge does not count for difference.
(to Artemisia acceptances) (to Artemisia returns)
This badge is returned for conflict with the badge of Murtaugh the Galloglas: Gules, a boar statant to sinister Or. There is only one DC for changing the tincture of the field as there is no DC between the courant and statant postures.
This badge is returned for conflict with the device of Chiara Grassi: Azure, in fess two roses slipped and leaved within an orle argent. There is a single DC for the change from orle to bordure embattled. We do not grant difference for the rose stems and thus these roses are technically in fess.
They are also garden rosebuds which are not registerable. On resubmission the submitter should draw them as heraldic roses or atleast garden roses.
Submitted as Ţorgeirr Hallvarđrson, the byname appeared in the Letter of Intent as Hallvardđrson. This change appeared to be a typographical error.
Unfortunately, the submitted byname was not constructed properly. The byname should have be spelled Hallvarđsson, although Hallvardsson and Hallvaldarson are supported by 14th and 15th century examples in Lind, and Hallvarđarson is an Old Norse form. Unfortunately, the submitter did not allow changes, so we are unable to register any of these forms. Therefore, we are forced to return this name.
His device is registered under the holding name Ţorgeirr of Burning Sands.
(to Atenveldt acceptances) (to Atenveldt returns)
Blazoned on the Letter of Intent as a chevron chevronelly argent and azure, this is must be understood as three chevronels argent on an azure field. As such, the musical notes are lying directly on the field with which they lack contrast. Thus, in the absence of documentation for an Individually Attested Pattern, this device must be returned for this contrast issue.
Alternatively, replacing the blue sections between the chevronels by a color other than azure would solve this issue.
This device is returned for violating SENA A3D2c, Unity of Posture and Orientation, which states "The charges within a charge group should be in either identical postures/orientations or an arrangement that includes posture/orientation" The charges here are not in a unified arrangement, as the orientations of the hunting horn and barrel must be described independently.
This device is returned for visual conflict with the device of Alan of Rosley: Azure, two rapiers in saltire and on a chief argent three roses proper. Although technically clear, as there is a SC for the difference in type of the primary charges, the whole design is strikingly visually similar as per SENA A5D2.
This device is returned for redraw, for violating SENA A2C2 which states "Elements must be drawn to be identifiable." As depicted, the raven is not easily identifiable, an issue which is amplified by the fact that a significant portion of the sable bird disappears on the azure portions of the field.
This device is returned for redraw, for violating SENA A2C2 which states "Elements must be drawn to be identifiable."
As depicted, commenters had trouble identifying the primary charges and the design was generally perceived as a flower. This is in large part due to the unusual manner of conjoining the outer edge of the wings over much of their length, which significantly diminishes the identifiability of the wings and thus that of the bees.
Unfortunately, this name conflicts with the registered name William Wisehart. Only one syllable has been changed, and the change in sound from Wise- to White- is not substantial under PN3C2 of SENA. Therefore, we are forced to return this name.

None.
(to Caid acceptances) (to Caid returns) (to Caid pends)
This device is returned for conflict with the device of Rainer Wulfgar: Azure, a chevron ermine between three griffins Or. Even if we decide to number the ermine spots on the chevron, as submitted on the Letter of Intent, there is no DC between a chevron charged in this manner with multple ermine spots and an ermine chevron. Thus, there is a DC for changing the type of secondary charges, but since birds can't be segreant and griffins may not be volant, we cannot get a second DC for posture.
(to Calontir acceptances) (to Calontir returns)
This badge is returned for multiple reasons. Blazoned as a sea catamount, the upright charge was generally identified as a sea-bear and we are returning this submission so the submitter can have, after redraw, the charge she desires.
Additionally, no evidence was provided for the admixture of postures for animate charges in this arrangement. On resubmission, the submitter should provide documentation to support this arrangement, specifically addressing the unity of posture and orientation issues with this design as the September 2012 Cover Letter states:
For purposes of the unity of posture clause of A3D2c, sea-creatures and other similar monsters must be in as similar a posture as possible to any quadrupeds in the same group. Sea-creatures and other monsters not formed from quadrupeds will be decided on a case by case basis. So for example, a lion-dragon passant and a horse passant has no unity of posture problem since both are passant, whereas a sea-horse and a lion statant does have a unity of posture problem, as a sea-horse's default posture is erect, which is not identical to statant.
This device is returned for conflict with the device of James Applegate: Per chevron argent and azure, two Latin crosses and a lion rampant counterchanged. There is a DC for changing the axes to Latin crosses, but there cannot be a SC for all the primary charges since in both cases the charge in base is a cat rampant.
(to Ealdormere acceptances) (to Ealdormere returns)
This augmentation is returned for contrast issues. SENA A3a3 states "Because an augmentation adds complexity, augmented devices are often allowed to violate certain style rules, such as allowing charges on tertiary charges or a complexity count of greater than eight, as long as the identifiability of the design is maintained. However, they may not violate the rules on contrast." While the canton is overall and has good technical constrast with the field, it also substantially overlies the gules chief and mostly touches black parts of the neutral field. Thus, the purpure canton largely lies against a color background and does not have good contrast. In consequence, this must be returned.
(to East acceptances) (to East returns)
This badge is returned for not being reliably blazonable, which is a violation of SENA A1C which requires an emblazon to be describable in heraldic terms. Here there is no reliable way to blazon to blazon the way in which the dragon partially overlaps some arms of the mullet but not others.
This badge is also returned for having a barely overall charge. As drawn, the dragon doesn't appear to be a conjoined charge (which would not have overlap on the mullet) or an fully overall charge (which crosses the center of the field, lying partially on the field and partially on other charges) as it only overlaps two of the points.
This badge is returned for conflict with the badge of Atlantia: (Fieldless) A sea horse to sinister Or gorged of a chaplet of roses gules. There is one DC for fieldless versus fielded design but none for the gorging or lack thereof. By precedent, the addition or removal of a collar or gorging on a whole beast does not contribute to difference.
(to Lochac acceptances) (to Lochac returns)
This device must be returned for insufficient contrast between the chief and the field.
Per SENA A3B4:
a. Placement of Charges: Charges must have good contrast with the background on which they are placed. Primary, secondary, and overall charge groups are considered to be placed on the field and must have good contrast with it.
Here the gules chief on the sable field has insufficient contrast.
(to Meridies acceptances) (to Meridies returns)
None.
(to Middle acceptances) (to Middle returns)
None.
(to Northshield acceptances) (to Northshield returns)
This device is returned because the arrangement of the charges on the field is not blazonable either as a single primary group or as a primary and secondary group, as required by A3D1, Clarity of Charge Groups. A blazon "Per chevron throughout purpure and argent, a domestic cat sejant gardant sable, in chief three fleurs-de-lys counterchanged" would have a large domestic cat crossing the line of division to be partly on the purpure part of the field. A cat that is positioned completely on the white portion of the field must be understood to be part of the same charge group that the white fleurs-de-lys are, as "Per chevron throughout purpure and argent, two fleurs-de-lis and a cat counterchanged argent and sable" with a secondary white fleur-de-lis. However, this arrangement runs afoul of A3D1 which prohibits identical charges in two different charge groups on the field and does not adequately describe the position and size of the fleurs-de-lis.
This device is returned for redraw, for violating SENA A2C2 which states "Elements must be drawn to be identifiable."
As depicted, the low contrast complex line of division is obscured by the otter and fish. By long precedent, low constrast complex lines of division can only be allowed if charges that overlie them do not obscure the nature of that line of division.
This badge is also returned for not being reliably blazonable, which is a violation of SENA A1C which requires an emblazon to be describable in heraldic terms. Here, the position of the otter and the manner in which it sustains the fish is not reliably describable in blazon terms. The otter might be blazoned as salient guardant, but that would not account for its tail. The fish is even more problematic: neither the way in which the fish is held in the mouth and paws of the otter nor the way in which the fish is neither palewise not bendwise sinister is blazonable in a way that would allow it to be reproduced. Redrawing the otter more clearly salient guardant, having the fish be clearly "embowed (palewise)" or "embowed bendwise sinister," and having the otter hold the fish either in its mouth or its paws would make the design blazonable.
Blazoned on the Letter of Intent as purpure, the color portions of the base appear azure. We are returning this device so the submitter can clarify which tincture she intended.
(to Outlands acceptances) (to Outlands returns)
This device is returned for running afoul of SENA Appendix I which states "A single charge group may only have one tertiary charge group on it." Here the owl contourny and trident constitute two different charge groups on the mullet.
This badge is returned for multiple reasons.
It violates SENA A2C1 which states that "Elements must be drawn in their period forms" and SENA A2C2 which states "Elements must be drawn to be identifiable." The skillet depicted is not in a period form and was generally interpreted by commenters as a brush.
It must also be returned administratively. The Administrative Handbook says "The colored copy must be a scan of the original." This is not a scan. As indicated in this month's cover letter, the image does not need to come from a scanner but must be an unaltered digital representation of the actual paperwork. This is not the case here as the colors are altered and different from that on the uploaded form.
Some commenters wondered if the design was too evocative of a cartoon frog character and as such could be construed as obtrusively modern. This is not the case.
The byname Yggr ("terrible one") is only found as a description for Odin, and not as a description for normal humans. Therefore, the use of this name is presumptuous and must be returned.
Upon resubmission, the submitter should know that the given name should be spelled Hj{o,}rr, with an o-ogonek instead of ř.
This device is returned for using an altered form. The shape of the shield is significantly different from the shape defined on the Laurel-approved form.
There is a step from period practice for the use of a bird other than an eagle in the displayed posture.
Although changing the field tincture from gules to azure has removed the previously existing conflict, the issue of the identifiability of the field tincture has not been resolved. Thus, this device is returned because the pale obscures the per pale line of division, making it impossible to distinguish this counterchanged field from a straightforward chevronelly argent and azure field.
