Noble
Heralds!
1: Abhain ri Naimh - New Branch Name
The only documentation supplied for the group name is a list of
translations of elements, which were found in an unspecified
online English-Gaelic dictionary.
This name should be returned unless someone can find some real
documentation.
2: Barak Elandris Bear the Walsbane - New
Augmentation of Arms
Per chevron inverted grady sable, a bear's paw print Or, and in
chief a demi-escarbuncle argent.
This
design lacks a visible line of division between the chief and the
rest of the design.
Yes, you can stand on your head and describe it, but it just
doesn't make sense.
12: Giovanni da Monza - New Name & New
Device
Gyronny of eight Or and sable, three griffins sergeant gules.
OOH!
Tres pretty. I hope that these arms make it through Laurel.
16: Nishimura Saburou - New Name
Submitter desires a masculine name.
Authenticity NOT requested.
Meaning (third son) most important.
Nishimura - Solveig Throndardottir, Name Construction in
Mediaeval Japan, p. 104, dates this surname to 1568 and gives the
meanings of the elements as "west" (nishi) and "village" (mura).
Saburou - Solveig Throndardottir, Name Construction in Mediaeval
Japan, p. 212, dates this masculine yobina to 1572 and gives the
meaning as "third son."
If this fellow plans on being an adult bushi, then he should have
a nanori as well as a zokumyô.
17: Petr Kotok - New Device
Quarterly gules and sable, a bezant between eight sickles, hafts
to center, in annulo Or.
