1: Ælfra Long - Typo: contourny.

2: Æsa Helgulfsdottir - Typo: "per bend".  No conflicts found with
the arms.

No justification was provided for combining <Helgu-> and <Ulfr> into
<Helgulfr> -- such justification is required before this can be 
registered.  The most well-known example of this phenomenon is
Skalla-Gr{i'}mr, who is often found recorded in sagas as <Skallagr{i'}mr>,
as partially indicated by this precedent:

"Although Skallagrímr is in origin a combination of the nickname Skalla- 
'bald' and the forename Grímr, Lind, Norsk-Isländska Dopnamn ock Fingerade 
Namm från Medeltiden, s.n. Skallagrímr notes that there is at least one 
instance of the compound Skallagrímr as a forename in its own right: a 
Skallagrimr Audvnar son died in 1353..." (LoAR August 1997, p. 11)

And another precedent says:

"The name was submitted as Blund-Úlfr Kleykir. Though we have no evidence 
for Old Norse use of more than one nickname at a time, there is some 
indication that at times a preposed nickname combined with the given name 
to produce what was effectively a new given name. We are therefore giving 
the name the benefit of the doubt, though we have followed what seems to 
have been normal documentary practice in fusing nickname and name."
(Blundúlfr Kleykir, 5/96 p. 15)

And it seems reasonable that <Helgu-Ulfr> would reduce to <Helgulfr>,
rather than <Helguulfr>.

3: Æthelmearc, Kingdom of - I would specify that this is "a _wooden_
barrel proper".  Unfortunately, I believe this conflicts with
Concordia of the Snows, Barony of (reg. 07/1996 via the East), 
"(Fieldless) On a barrel proper a snowflake argent environed of a 
snake involved Or."  There's one CD for fieldlessness, but none
for a snowflake vs. an escarbuncle, and changing only the number of
charges in a tertiary group is not sufficient for a CD.

4: Aquila Blackmore - No conflicts found.

5: Beniamin Hackewode - No conflicts found with the arms.

For the name, we can do better by citing R&W s.n. Benjamin, which
has <Beniamin> 12th C and <Roger Beniamin> 1166.  Also, Bardsley 
s.n. Benjamin has <Caterina fil. Benjamini> in 1273. This gets the
name much closer temporally to the byname, and uses no-photocopy
resources.  (The Cornish references can be omitted altogether, 
since they're of no use.)

What's the header for the byname in R&W?  That's required for a
complete summary.

6: Brandubh Ó Donnghaile - No conflicts found.

7: Caitrióna inghean Uí Chonaill - This conflicts with <Caiterína 
inghean uí Chonaill> (reg. 04/2001 via Atlantia).

This is most definitely not "per chevron".  "Per chevron" needs to
both bisect the field roughly in half and reach past the per fess
line, and this does neither.  It's also too large to be a point
pointed, but even if it wasn't, that would not be registerable because
it would put a vert point on an azure field and have four layers 
(triquetras on book on point on field).  This needs to be returned for
redrawing.

8: Catrijn van der Hedde - No conflicts found.

9: Däumler Helm - If I'm reading the LoI correctly, this submission
lacks a given name, violating RfS III.2.a.

10: Éamonn mac Alaxandair - No conflicts found with the name or arms.

Hands are dexter by default, so that can be removed from the blazon.

11: Erasmus Fryermut - <Erasmus> also occurs twice in my "German Names 
from 1495" (http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/german/german1495.html).
This is an excellent late 15th C German name.

12: Ernine ingen Duib Dara - No conflicts found with the arms.  As
<Ernine> is a saint's name, this is registerable.

13: Helena Lyncoln of Norfolk - No conflicts found with the arms.

Additionally, R&W s.n. Norfolk have <de Norfolc> 1154-76,
<de Norfolk'> 1228, <Northfolk, Norfolk> 1377, 1380.  It should
be noted that Galbi's page dates <Helena> to 1562, 1563, 1564,
and 1566.

14: Iohann filius Agustin - The eagles appear to have 'heads to
sinister'.  No conflicts found with the arms.

If the submitter really wants a feminine name, then some changes
need to be made.  Withycombe s.n. Joan note <Johan> in 1379; while
this is a vernacular form, it's not impossible that it could have
been written <Iohan>.  <filius> should change to <filia>, for
a woman.  Finally R&W s.n. Augustin have <Augustinus> 1153-68,
which would give a byname of <filia Augustini>, for a complete
name of <Iohan filia Augustini>.

15: Iwan Dyerrics - The moose is passant, since he has one hoof
raised.  No conflicts found with the arms or name.

16: Jakob Heckrath - No conflicts found with the arms.

My copy of Bahlow/Gentry doesn't have <Heckrath> as a header on p.
201 (it goes from <Hack> to <H{a"}fele>).  The header <Heckrath>
does occur on p. 222, but with no dates.  I doubt that the German
version of Bahlow actually says that <Heckrath> is a variant of <Hesse>,
since the English translation says that this is "from a place name
ending in <-rode> (Hesse, Thuringia), or <-rath> (Rhineland)."
My "German Names from 1495"
(http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/german/german1495.html) and
"German Names from Nürnberg, 1497"
(http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/german/nurnberg1497.html) have
lots of <Heck-> surnames, both no <Heckrath>.

17: John atte Lionheart - This is clear of Martha Rosewood (reg.
09/1992 via Caid), "Vert, a lion's head erased and on a chief Or, 
two paw-prints vert," with a CD for the orientation of the head
and one for the changes to the tertiaries, and it's clear of Catlin 
Lindsay (reg. 06/1995 via Atenveldt), "Lozengy azure and argent, a 
cat's face Or marked sable and a chief Or," with a CD for the field
and one for adding the tertiaries.

The byname <Cuer-de-Lion> is a descriptive byname; the use of <atte>
is in no way appropriate here, since <Lionheart> is neither a
generic toponymic nor a plausible inn-sign name. 

18: Katarzina Pogonowski - No conflicts found with the arms.

The URL for my article should be given:
http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/polish/polishfem.html

Locative bynames in Polish change to match the gender of the
bearer.  For a woman, this would be <Pogonowska>.

19: Katerina of the Debateable Lands - No need to appeal to the
legal name allowance here; Withycombe s.n. Katharine dates this
spelling to 1196-1215, 1273, 1428.

"Names of SCA branches are only automatically registerable in 
locative bynames in the forms in which the branch name was 
registered, as can be seen in the ruling:
    The name was submitted as Kate{rv}ina of the Bright Hills. 
The barony's name, however, was registered without the article, 
so it should not be used here either. [Kate{rv}ina of Bright 
Hills, LoAR 06/1999, A-Atlantia]" [LoAR 09/2003]

The byname here needs to be corrected to <of the Debatable Lands.
I found no conflicts with the name or arms.

20: Katheryn M'Kethirryke - This is not an adequate depiction of
"per chevron", even with a chief. It barely passes the per fess
line and it certainly doesn't bisect the field into two roughly
equal pieces.  I also find the fleurs-de-lys hard to identify,
because they are so thin and squished.

21: Magdalena de Mayfeld - The source cited in the S. Gabriel
report for the given name needs to be provided.

The arms are clear of Hrothgar Hrolfsson (reg. 08/1988 via the 
East), "Counter-ermine, on a lozenge argent, a wolf's head, erased 
and sinister facing, sable, a chief indented argent," with one CD
for removing the chief and one for changing the type and tincture
of the tertiary.

The egg is completely unidentifiable; it is too small, and too close
to the rest of the dragon.

22: Maghnus an Chnoic na n'Iora - The blazon makes it seem like
this is two primaries, but it's definitely a primary and a secondary:
"Azure, a chevron and in base a single-headed chess knight argent."

This type of chess knight is modern, and not registerable -- see
the discussion for Durko Vadas at 
http://oscar.sca.org/index.php?action=145&id=1320, and the subsequent
return of those arms on the 12/2006 LoAR.

I found no conflicts.

23: Morien MacBain - This may conflict with Ingilborg Sigmundardóttir
(reg. 06/2006 via Caid), "(Fieldless) A sheaf of a sword inverted between 
four arrows argent bound with a garter sable."  There's a CD for
fieldlessness, none for the garter, and so the only difference is
the fretting vs. the binding in a sheaf, which, given that both are
obscured by the sword, may not be sufficient.

24: Nefyn merch Cinuin ap Maelgwn - Gruffudd's spellings are modern;
they are in general not registerable unless there is independent
evidence that they were also used in period.  As it happens, this
name was considered on the 05/2007 LoAR (under the spelling <Nyfain>).
The results on that LoAR will be applicable here, when it is published.

[ADDENDUM]
I wrote the above before the LoAR was released, and then forgot to come
back to it.  The ruling says:

"Submitted as Nyfain of Brigantia, the submitter requested a name authentic 
for 6th century Britain. The name Nyfain is a standard modern form of a 
name found in the 6th C. The bearer of this name is found in genealogies 
written between the 10th through the 14th C. The name is not a saint's name. 
Early names found in later genealogies that are not saint's names are not 
registerable in standard modern (or standard later medieval) forms unless 
documentation is provided that the name was in use when such a spelling 
would be appropriate. Barring documentation that this name was in use in 
later period, the form Nyfain is not registerable. The article used to 
document the name, Heather Rose Jones, "Names of Women of the Brythonic 
North in the 5-7th Centuries" 
(http://heatherrosejones.com/names/welsh/brythonicnorth/5th-7thbrythonicwomen.html), notes that a Latinized Nemania would be appropriate to [sic] this 
period." [Nemania Brigans]

25: Sebastian Wolfgang von Bayern - Do we have evidence for 
multiply divided portions of fields sharing a tincture with the non-
divided portion?  This has some identifiability issues, which could be
addressed by providing period evidence for this motif.  I note that the
pend of Eginolf von Basel provides examples of multiply divided fields
with peripheral ordinaries that share a tincture with the field, so it's
not impossible (see http://oscar.sca.org/index.php?action=145&id=4098).
Then again, I see that this issue occured in his previous arms, and
doesn't mentioned in the return, so I'm probably just being overly
twitchy.  I found no conflicts.

26: Shait ben Michael - I gotta say, if we're returning <Fuchs> and
<Fuchyn> for sounding too scatalogical, we'd probably also return
<Shait>.  I don't know if the Hebrew name is properly pronounced
\shite\, but that's going to be a common pronunciation among Americans
who don't know the proper Hebrew form.

It appears from the documentation that the byname combines Hebrew
<ben> with English <Michael> in the same phrase; this violates RfS III.1.a.
The documentation supports the wholly Hebrew <ben Mikha'el>.

27: Sion ap Rhainallt - No conflicts found.

28: Þorvaldr friðsamr - Typo: "sable" should not be capitalized.  I
found no conflicts with the arms, but they probably violate our ban
on counterchanging long skinny objects along their long skinny axis.
Two period examples of the motif is not enough to invoke either VIII.6.a
or VIII.6.b.

The meaning of the byname needs to be given.  It is 'peaceful'.

29: Ulfkell Dungalsson - Typo: "contourny".  This is clear of William 
of Hoghton (reg. 08/1982 via the West), "Sable, a grey wolf's head 
erased proper. [Canis lupus]", with one CD for the base and one for
the orientation of the head, and it's clear of Aldric of Wolfden
(reg. 12/1991 via the West), "Sable, a wolf's head contourny erased 
within a bordure indented argent," with a CD for the type and one
for the tincture of the secondaries; ditto vs. Fergus de Botha (reg.
06/19998 via Atenveldt), "Sable, a wolf's head erased contourny argent, 
a bordure compony gules and argent."

Contrary to the LoI, <Ulfkell> does not appear in Geirr Bassi.  The
name he lists is <{U'}lfkell>.  Dropping the accent is fine, but the
documentation still has to be quoted correctly.  I found no conflicts.

30: Ulfkell Dungalsson - No conflicts found with the badge.

The example of "Dragon Overthrown" does not support this household name
for two reasons:  One, it is an order name, not a household name, and
household names must be documented to follow period patterns of
households, not period patterns of order names.  Two, there was no such
order in period.  The pre-1600 order is the <Order of the Dragon>.  The
addition of "overthrown" or "defeated" didn't occur until some time after
our period.  (In fact, it is still primarily known as the <Order of the
Dragon> today, per Wikipedia.)

As documented, the grammar is not correct; the name would literally 
translate to <House Dog of Warlike>.  If the intended meaning is "house 
of the warlike dog" (the LoI notes that meaning is most important, but 
doesn't say what the meaning is...), then it needs to be noted that 
<canis> is also the genitive form.  I know of no period household names
that are formed in this fashion, and note that the cover letter of 01/
2007 specifically says that the model pattern has to be documented
_in the language of the submitted name_, which has not been done.

31: Viðarr Hrafnsson - <Hrafn> has two genitives, <Hrafn> and
<Hrafnar>: 

"Ruulfr Rafnsson.  Name change from Rohlfe Ravenson.
    Questions were raised as to the correct patronymic form of Hrafn; 
Zoega's Concise Dictionary of Old Icelandic gives both Hrafns and 
Hrafnar as genitive forms of the word hrafn from which the name is 
derived." [LoAR 11/2003]

No conflicts found with the name.

The use of a raven displayed is a weirdness, but that should be the
only one here.  But the charges on the chief are "triskelions of
legs", not "triskeles of legs".  This is clear of Alicia FitzHugh of 
Ravensworth (reg. 01/2001 via An Tir), "Or, a raven displayed sable 
and on a chief azure three wolves passant argent," with a CD for
the field and one for the type of tertiaries.  That's the closest I
found.
