2: Amalie Jäger von Holstein - New Name & New Device
Argent, a horse rampant and on a chief rayonny enarched purpure, two bears sejant erect reguardant argent
Submitter desires a feminine name.
No major changes.
Amalie - Talan Gwynek (Brian Scott) Medieval German Given Names from Silesia
Women's Names <http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/bahlow/bahlowFem.html>, cites one occasion of this name from 1349.
Jäger von Holstein is registered previously by her mundane father, Andreas Jäger von Holstein, registered September 2007.
Jäger - Brechenmacher, vol. I (A-J), p. 764, s.n. Jäger, lists <Jäger>, and states that the more frequent older spelling is <Jeger>. Dated to 1280 as <Bercht. Dictus Jäger>.
Also, Saint Gabriel Report #2436 [http://www.s-gabriel.org/2436] states:
<Jaeger> or <Ja"ger> "hunter" is a spelling generally found later than your period. The more typical spelling in the 14th century is <Jeger>; we find that form recorded in Bohemia 1411 and in other parts of southern Germany in the late 13th and 14th centuries [4, 5]. However, we have also found an example of <Ja"ger> in Baden in southwestern Germany in 1280, and <Ja"germeister> in Austria in 1365 [6]. In either spelling the name was pronounced roughly YEH-gehr.
Holstein - Brechenmacher, vol. I (A-J), p. 734, s.n. Holstein, lists Emmely Holsteinin zu Freiburg 1382. Here, the <-in> suffix is added to make the locative feminine. Also, Johann Siebmacher's Wappenbuch von 1605, plate 7, shows the arms of the Duchy of Holstein with the submitted spelling as the caption.

4: Brada Æthelward - Resub Name
Submitter desires a masculine name.
No major changes.
Client requests authenticity for Anglo-Saxon, 10th-11th century.
His original name submission, Brada Boda Aethelward, was returned by Laurel in June, 2009. At that time, Laurel said:
This is being returned for using both an occupational and a patronymic byname in an Old English name. No examples were provided, and none were found by the commenters, of Old English names using both an occupational byname and a patronymic at the same time. There are few examples of Old English names using more than one byname, but all of the examples found by the commenters were of the pattern <occupational> + <locative>. Lacking examples of Old English names which use both an occupational byname and a patronymic byname at the same time, this construction is not registerable in Old English.This resubmission fixes that problem by dropping one element.
Brada - The Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England (PASE) [http://www.pase.ac.uk/] counts three individuals with this given name, including a priest at Clofesho who bore witness to charters in 824 and 825.
Æthelward - The Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England (PASE) [http://www.pase.ac.uk/] counts 50 individuals under the header name Æthelweard including a priest ("Æthelweard 4") who witnessed charters in 863 and 867 using the spellings Eðelweard and Æðelward respectively. "Æthelweard 5" is the fifth-born surviving child of Alfred the Great and his name is recorded 26 times under various spellings. Based on these variants, the submitted spelling seems quite plausible:
AEþELWERDUS (1)
Aeþelweard (1)
Aeðelwaerd (1)
Aeðelweard (1)
Aþelweard (1)
Ethelward (1)
Ethelwardus (1)
Eðelweard (1)
Æthelweard (1)
Æþelweard (8)
Æþelwerd (1)
Æþelweard (7)
Æþelwerd (1)
Mari Elspeth nic Bryan, Period Name Construction v. 2.1 gives examples of Anglo-Saxon byname construction. Under Patronymic byname, the first construction is <Old English given name><Old English father's given name> and cites Tengvik, Old English Bynames (Uppsala: Almqvist & Wiksells Boktryckeri-A.-B., 1938), p. 225 as dating Osgot Sveyn to c. 1045.

5: Folan Wayfarer - Resub Badge
OSCAR is unable to find the name, either registered or submitted.
Per chevron inverted azure and gules, an increscent, a decrescent and a wolf ululant argent
Name registered, July, 2009. His original device submission, the same as the present was returned (July 2009) for re-drawing by Laurel who ruled that:
This is returned because it is not blazonable. Blazoned on the LoI as having a _Per chevron_ line of division, that would have the line issuing from the sides of the field, not the base corners. It is closest to being a pile inverted, which would be narrower and issue entirely from the base of the field
The present re-drawing should correct for this problem.

OSCAR is unable to find the name, either registered or submitted.
Per chevron gules and sable, an eagle displayed erminois within a bordure embattled Or
Name registered, July, 2009. His original device submission, the same as the present, was returned (July 2009) for re-drawing by Laurel who ruled that:
This device is returned for blurring the distinction between primary and secondary charges. The way the submitted emblazon is drawn, it is not possible to determine whether this is a primary charge and three secondary charges, three primaries and a secondary charge, or four co primary charges, and so must be returned.
The current re-drawing clearly presents the fish hooks as the primary charge group and the lucy as a secondary charge.

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in February of 2000, via Æthelmearc.
Per chevron gules and sable, an eagle displayed erminois within a bordure embattled Or
Name registered, February,2000.
His original device submission, Per chevron gules and sable, an eagle displayed within a bordure Or, was returned at Kingdom in June, 2007, for conflict with Athelwulf the Ancient of the Dry Lands, Gules, a duck displayed, head affronty, within a bordure Or, and Adenwald the Hazardous, Per chevron azure and plumetty azure and argent, a hawk displayed, wings inverted, all within a bordure Or.

Damebrigge - registered as the submitter's byname in 1992. At that time, Laurel said:
Damebrigge seems to be formed analagously to Knightsbridge (Knichtebrugg, 1270). Ekwall cites a number of English place names using titles, including Earlstone (Erlestone, 1167), Thenford (Theyniford, Northumbria Survey), and Queensborough (Queneburgh, 1376).

11: Padraig na Féasóige Ua Céileachair - Resub Name
Submitter desires a masculine name.
Culture (Irish Gaelic) most important.
His original name submission, Padraig na Ua Céileachair, was returned (July 2009) for conflict with Padraig O'Ceallachain.
Padraig - OCM, p. 152, give Pádraig as the modern form, and states that it is a borrowing of the Latin Patricius meaning "a patrician". They further state that, "The early Irish, out of respect for St Patrick, did not use the name itself but such forms as Gilla Pátraic 'servant of St Patrick' and Máel Pátraic 'devotee of St Patrick'. They further state, "When used by the Anglo-Normans it was rendered Pádraigín by the Irish.
Black, p. 651, s.n. Patrick, gives Pádraig as the Irish Gaelic, and Patricc as the Old Irish.
"Fragmentary Annals of Ireland: Annal FA 260" [www.ucc.ie/celt/online/G100017/text014.html] dates Padraicc to 859 in the phrase comarba Padraicc, which we understand to mean "heir of Patrick", or similar.
Mari Elspeth nic Bryan, "Index of Names in Irish Annals: Pádraigín" [www.medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/Padraigin.shtml] gives Pádraigín as the normalized Early Modern Irish Gaelic (c1200-c1700) nominative and genitive forms and counts 6 individuals of the name (in various spelling variants) in the years 1309 to 1601, including Patraigin in the 14th c. Mari Elspeth nic Bryan, "Index of Names in Irish Annals: Máel Pátraic" [http://www.medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/MaelPatraic.shtml] gives Máel Pátraic as the normalized Middle Irish Gaelic (c900-c1200) nominative form and Maol Phádraig as the Early Modern Irish Gaelic (c1200-c1700) nominative form, and counts 35 individuals of the name (in various spelling variants) in the years 845-1312.
The authenticity of Padraig was asserted in precedent as recently as December 2005:
Submitted as Padraig MacNaughton, the submitter requested authenticity for Irish language/culture. As submitted, this name uses an Irish given name and an Anglicized byname; for an authentic name, the name should be fully Irish. The spelling mac Nechtain is found in 1498 in The Annals of Ulster (found at CELT, http://www.ucc.ie/celt). We have changed the name to Padraig mac Nechtain to fulfill his request for authenticity.[Atlantia, Padraig mac Nechtain]
na Féas(o'}ige - Mari Elspeth nic Bryan, "Index of Names in Irish Annals: Descriptive Bynames: na Féasóige" [http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/AnnalsIndex/DescriptiveBynames/naFeasoige.shtml] defines this byname as meaning "of the bearded" and dates it to 1592 in the name Maol Ruanaidh na Féasóige mac Taidhg Ua Cearbhaill.
Ua - early spelling of the later Ó, the customary Irish clan affiliation particle.
Céileachair - The Annals of the Four Masters dates Dunchadh Ua Céileachair to 1048 [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/online/G100005B/text015.html].
We do not believe that combining the late period byname should be a problem. But, we'd appreciate an earlier form, if possible.

Willehalm - Talan Gwynek (Brian M. Scott), Medieval German Given Names from Silesia - Men's Names, <http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/bahlow/bahlowMasc.html>, cites this name to 1213.
Bärenjäger - The submitter cites this name as having been registered in April, 2007, out of the West Kingdom (Gunther Bärenjäger). It apparently is intended to mean "Bear Hunter". Sara L. Uckelman (Aryanhwy merch Catmael), German Names from Rottweil, Baden-Württemberg, 1441, <http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/german/rottweil1441.html> cites Ja(e)ger from Juden Ort and Bern. Aryanhwy, in German Names from 1495: Surnames A - F <http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/german/surnames1495a-g.html> also cites Bernhart. Further in German Names from Nürnberg, 1497: Surnames, <http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/german/surnamesnurna-m.html>, Aryanhwy cites Jeger. I cannot find documentation of combining Jäger, Ja(e)ger, Jeger with another surname form. Can anyone provide further documentation of this as a period byname?
