1. Ældric of Logan - 'Dancetty' only applies to two sided ordinaries; it refers to how the indentations are lined up with respect to each other. This chief is merely indented (and what nice indentations they are too):

"Precedent has noted that period chiefs could be drawn with the indentations "inwards" reaching all the way to the chief line:

"The device was blazoned as having three triangles issuant from chief. This style of indentation can be found in period (for example Lowell of Balumbye (Lindsay of the Mount, pl. 107)), but it was blazoned as either indented or three piles. As current scholarship believes that such chiefs were originally indented with deep indentations, we decided to blazon it as indented and leave the depth to artistic license (LoAR July 2000). [Ulf de Fribois, 10/02, A-Drachenwald]"

3. Aidan Ransford - I don't see anything specifically rain-droppy aobut these. If he wants to maintain the reference to drops of water, why not just blazon this "goutty d'eau"? I don't believe we blazon things such as the number of spans in a bridge. The first comma in the blazon can be deleted.

Withycombe is not a good source for non-English names:

"When Withycombe is discussing names in languages other than English, she is usually referring to modern forms. [Jeane of Cumbrae, 02/02, A-Meridies]"

"Coemgen as documented from Withycombe. However, while she is an excellent source for names in English, she is not as reliable when it comes to names that are not English. (Jaelle of Armida, LoAR February 1998, p. 2)"

The Irish Gaelic form of the name is <Áedán>. The Problem Names article on Aidan (http://www.medievalscotland.org/problem/names/aidan.shtml) says "Aidan is a modern English spelling of the early medieval Gaelic name Áedán. It was relatively common in early medieval Ireland, and was the name of at least two 6th and 7th century saints. In the late Middle Ages, the saint's name was spelled Aodhán, but the name appears to have dropped out of common use after the 10th century or so. Its modern popularity dates to a revival in the 19th or 20th century. [Withycombe; OCM; Woulfe; CE; Annals]"

The Irish Annals have no citations for the name after 949, according to Mari's index (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/mari/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/).

Combining a 10th C Irish Gaelic name with a 14th C English byname has two weirdnesses - one for temporal disparity and one for lingual disparity. Changing this to the Latin form <Aidanus> (from Searle s.n. Aidan) may or may not fix the lingual problem: Latinizations of names have not yet been explicitly addressed in any of the weirdness precedents. Since the name is only found in a Gaelic-culture context, I'm not sure that using the Latin form is that substantial of a correction, and that this may still be unregisterable.

4. Étaìn inghean Ruaidrí - For the 13th century, she'll want some changes in the spellings. Also, the summary for the given name on the LoI is inadequate, since no discussion of medieval usage of the name was presented. Mari's "Index of Names in Irish Annals: Feminine Names" (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/mari/ AnnalsIndex/Feminine/) gives <Étaín> (note the accent on the <i>) as the c900-c1200 form, and <Éadaoin> as the c1200-c1700 form. The name is found in 1104, 1188, 1225, 1243, 1263, 1328, 1392, 1393, 1476, which makes it fine for her period. "Index of Names in Irish Annals: Masculine Given Names" (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/mari/AnnalsIndex/Masculine/) has <Ruaidrí> (early) and <Ruaidhrí> (late) dated to 785, 833, 993, 1302, 1340, 1445, 1451, 1453, 1460, 1468, 1473, 1484, 1488, 1491, 1496, 1504, 1524, 1598. So either <Étaín ingen Ruaidrí> or <Éadaoin inghean Ruaidhrí> is appropriate for her period.

Typo in the blazon: 'sejant' (not 'sejeant').

5. Kjøtvi Thorgrimsson - The name found in Geirr Bassi is actually <Þorgrímr>, and the correct patronym formed from this is <Þorgrímsson>.

6. Simon Savastian Caminante - This otter is barely overall. It needs to be redrawn.

And there are all my comments for this letter.
