Unto Garnet Herald and the Aethelmearc College of Arms;
Greetings from the Heronter Heralds. Herein, our commentary on AE ILoI #108

1: Alexander MacDougall - New Name

No problems found.

2: AlŒme bint Yorgi - New Name

No problems found.

3: Eilion¢ra Ghorm inghean Phaid¡n - New Name & New Device

Name: While we can see "Fred the Red" for red-hair, and "Clair the Fair" for fair skin, we're having a bit of a difficulty with "Eleanor the Blue" for blue eyes. Wouldn't a translation of "Eleanor the Blue-Eyed" be more likely?

Device: "Per chevron throughout argent and azure, a decrescent argent and on a chief sable three triquetras argent."

No conflicts found

4: Florian du Pompier - New Name Change

Name: *Ahem!* In the first place, the name would more likely be Florian le Pompier, "Florian _the_ firefighter", instead of Florian du Pompier, "Florian _of the_ firefighter". However, a quick Google check on Florian & Firefighters, brought us to the wikipedia page on St. Florian, the patron saint of firefighters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Florian). The Cross of St. Florian is the traditional framework for fire department emblems. "Florian of the Firefighters" has to be a direct reference to this saint. If he wants to be a saint, he has to perform three miracles. The first will be getting this name to pass! :D

5: Gr¡mkell Bogsveigir - New Name & New Device

Name: No problems with the submitted name. However, we'd like to point out that the reference is Land_n_amabok or "The Book of Names of the Land". Is Landmamabok, "The Book of Mothers of the Land"? :D :D :D
