Per pale vert and sable, a Celtic hound passant, tail reflexed, collared, standing atop a longbow fesswise, string to chief, maintaining in its mouth an arrow fracted chevron-wise Or.
Conflict with Tristen Sexwulf, Quarterly
gules
and sable, a wolf statant Or. Passant conflicts
with statant. Neither the arrow nor the tail position count for
difference. The
bow is not large enough to be sustained.
Also, the hound needs to be redrawn without Celtic stylization.

15. Gilliane McGill – Name accepted with changes
Azure, a crescent, in chief three fleurs-de-lys, an orle argent.
The name is intended to be feminine. The submitter will accept any changes.
Gillian - Talan Gwynek’s article “Feminine Given Names in _A Dictionary of English Surnames_” cites both Giliane and Gillian to the 13th century. Gilliane seems a reasonable combination of the double “L” and the final “e”.
McGill - is a header form in Reany & Wilson, Macgeil dated to 1231 and M’Gill dated to 1550.
