Fridrikr!
Greetings from Solveig!
1. Company of the White Lion
The White Lion Society is definitely not
sufficiently
important to protect and I wonder why it should
be
considered so. The White Lion Society appears
to be
an extra-governmental society of "friends" of
Her
Majesty's College of Arms.
3. Argent, a natural tiger salient contourny gules marked sable within
a bordure rayonny sable estencely Or
Just remember that the natural tiger is a
weirdness.
4. Amelie Reinhardt
I don't see what makes this name Gypsy/Romani
5. Argent, two squirrels sejant erect addorsed in chief three acorns
sable
I do not believe that the blazon matches the
emblazon as the
maintained swords are omitted from the blazon.
Argent, two squirrels sejant erect addorsed
each maintaining
a sword and in chief three acorns sable
7. Vert, on an open scroll argent a treble clef sable
Two questions. What is the current rule
regarding glyphs?
And, is this a proper pre-1601 treble clef?
I suspect that at best the treble clef does not
count for
difference either by its presence or absence. This makes the design
simply "Vert, an open scroll argent". However, I do not believe that it
conflicts with the following:
(Fieldless) An open scroll argent fretty vert.
However, I am less confident about
Vert, on an open scroll argent a quill pen
bendwise sinister gules, a bordure fleuretty Or.
(Fieldless) A open scroll argent charged with a
paw print azure
8. Per bend vert and azure, a shirtless man maintaining in his
right hand a tankard argent between two tandkards and a viking ship Or
The emblazon looks a bit busy.
15. Chauncey Longbow
Personally, I suspect that Longbow doesn't work
as a byname,
but please send it up to Laurel so that a holding name can be created
for the armory.
18. Delilah de la Rose
I doubt that Delilah would be used as a period
given name as the biblical character is not exactly a model person.
19. Gules, a phoenix and on a chief Or three roses proper
Oooh purty!
40. Azure, a sword inverted proper winged argent between three books
argent bound Or
Shouldn't this be blazoned
Azure a sword inverted and winged argent
between three books argent bound Or
41. Or, a church purpure between three dogs courant sable
The "church" is not reconstructable from the
blazon or else it
is an out-of-period dependency upon New England churches. Actually, the
depiction of the "church" in this device appears rather overtly modern
(post 1600) to me.
42. Per fess azure and Or fretty azure, a stirrup Or
Is this the depiction of a stirrup from the
PicDic or
something. The problem for me is I am familiar with stirrups which do
not at all look like this stirrup. Basically, I would like to see a
modifier in front of stirrup which specifies the type of stirrup.
Unfortunately, I do not know enough about stirrups to supply one.
44. I wish that the name were German.
45. Azure, in pale a triangle inverted surmounting a triangle
overlapping at the points, both voided argent
Voided overlapping triangles. I suppose that it
should be
checked against an hour glass. However, I am bothered about the design
itself which is both thin-line heraldry and abstract symbology.
57. Sable, twenty hawks' bells, 4, 4, 4, 4, and 4 and on a chief Or two
oak leaves fructed vert
Shouldn't this be a seme of hawk's bells ?
60. Satou Kenshin
As I wrote previously, Kenshin is technically a
"houmyou" 法名
(name in religion). Such names were taken when someone became a monk or
nun. Some daimyou would shave their heads and enter religious orders
while still continuing to lead their domains in practice. Basically,
the person with this proposed name should be advised that Kenshin is
not a normative name unless he intends to recreate a monk. Can it be
registered, I suppose it can be, but the person registering the name
should have this business explained to him. It is sort of like calling
yourself Pius or Innocent based on the names of popes.
64. Trent Turner
Looks like this name follows the cited
precedent.
