It is the intent of the College of Heralds of Æthelmearc to register the following:
1. Aidan Gunn - Name and Device
Per saltire sable and gules, a wolf rampant argent charged on the shoulder with a Celtic cross sable.
The submitter intends the name to be masculine and will accept any changes.
Aidan is a header form in Black, who mentions Aidan mac Gabran, who died c. 608. It is an Anglicized form of Gaelic Áedán, which Ó Corrain & Maguire state is "a relatively common name in early Ireland."
Gunn is a header form in Black. John son of Gun or Gune is dated to 1327. It is derived from a Norse name Gunni which is dated to at least the 12th century.
While there may well be a weirdness for temporal incompatibility here (as there are several hundred years between the given name and the byname), a single weirdness is allowed. A second, for instance, mixing Gaelic &´edán with Scots Gunn, would be grounds for return.
Herald of Record: Juliana de Luna
2. Bainard Grey - Name and Device
Per pale sable and azure, two lions queue-forche argent.
The submitter intends the name to be masculine. He will allow any changes.
Bainard is found in the "1066 List of Knights" by Olive Tree Enterprises (URL, please?) as a surname. The submitter would like it as a given name; we ask the help of the College of Heralds in documenting it. Reaney & Wilson (s.n. Baynard) give Robert Bainard 1182, and deriving it from Old German Beinhard, which seems to be a given name (Morlet also derives Bainard from a given name).
Grey is a header form in Reaney & Wilson (s.n. Gray), with Anschitill Grai 1086 and Philip le Grey 1296.
Herald of Record: Cadell Blaidd Du
3. Cionaedh Gunn - Name and Device
Per chevron sable and Or, in base a phoenix gules.
The submitter does not care about the gender of the name. She allows any changes; if her name must be changed, she cares most about the sound.
Cionaedh is a late period spelling of the early Cináed; both are header forms in Ó Corrain & Maguire. They say that the name "appears to have become popular in Ireland afger [the eighth century]. The submitter would love an Anglicized form without a final consonant (Kenna, for example), but we could not find one.
Gunn is a header form in Black. John son of Gun or Gune is dated to 1327. It is derived from a Norse name Gunni which is dated to at least the 12th century.
There is a weirdness here for mixing Gaelic and Scots orthographies (Kenneth Gunn would have none). There shouldn't be a weirdness here for temporal incompatibility, as the name are within a few hundred years of one another (generally 300 years is the magic number above which there is a weirdness).

The tree is drawn the same way as it is on her device. Can we better describe its orientation?

The submitter intends the name to be feminine. She will accept any changes. A previous submission was returned several years ago for lack of documentation for the byname.
Genevieve is found in the 1292 Paris Census (Colm Dubh).
The submitter believes the byname to be a form of the placename Chalfont. Chalfont is a header form in Eckwall, who cites Celfunte DB and Chaufonte 1242. If support cannot be found for her desired spelling, she will accept Chalfont. A first element Cald can be found in Caldbeck, dated as Caudebec to 1195 and Caldwell, dated as Caldewell to 1208 in Eckwall. Other placenames with a second element font (besides Chalfont above) include Bedfont (Bedefunte 1198) and Mottisfont (Motesfont 1167). A spelling with -ow can be found by 1426 (John Fowntens, in Reaney & Wilson s.n. Fountain).

14. Sara Charmaine of Falkensee - Change of Device resubmission
