Here are the November 2002 submissions for your consideration and commentary. All submissions will allow major and minor changes unless otherwise noted. All commentary should be sent to the Rouge Scarpe Herald, THL Paul Wickenden of Thanet, early enough to arrive by February 1, 2003, with copies to Dragon, and myself. Starting with next month’s Internal Letter, the due date for commentary will change to the 25^th of the following month (i.e. the commentary for January’s letter should arrive at Rouge Scarpe by the 25^th of February. On a final note, I’d like to wish everyone a joyous holiday season and a happy new year.

[Brjánn] found in Geir Bassi p.9 , [Inn rammi] (ibid) p.26. (no other documentation included)

Client wishes the meaning “strong” in 10^th-12^th century Norse or Celtic. 

 

4) Estienne de Boucicaut. (M) New Name.

(Painesville, OH)

[Estienne] found at French Names from Paris, 1423 & 1438 by Sara Friedmann at

http://www.sit.wisc.edu/~sfriedemann/names/paris1423.htm . [Boucicaut] found in Dauzat p.55, sn Boucicaut. Client will NOT accept MAJOR changes and wishes a name authentic to 15^th century France. 

 

5) Lán Ying. (F) New Name

(Carraig Ban)

All names referred to in this documentation use Pinyin romanization. The surname [Lán] “blue” does not appear in any historical documents I am aware of. However, http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi/2346.txt [Zhû] “red” and [Huáng] “yellow” as being in use before 1600. Only perhaps 600 surnames can be dated to before 1600; there appears to be little or no pattern as to what was used. http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi/2342.txt also endorse [Cui} “blue” as a period surname, although it is found only in a period work of fiction. 

The given name [Ying] ‘hawk’ is also unattested, but period examples from the latter of the above articles include a variety of miscellaneous nouns including various birds and flowers. The Academy of Saint Gabriel, again in the above articles, describes different types of Chinese ‘given’ names, some of which could be chosen by the individual, or given to them as an honor or descriptor. Chinese tradition was, and still is, to choose a name from words in the language, rather than from potential “names” .As the client is a student of kung fu, it is my opinion that ‘hawk’ is a believable name.

Client wishes a Mandarin Chinese name cares most about meaning and will NOT accept MAJOR changes. 

6) Magnus de Tymberlake. (M) Name Change.

(Barony of Fenix)

[Magnus] found in Masculine Given Names Found in the1332 Lay Subsidy Rolls for Lincolnshire, England by Mari Elspeth nic Bryan at http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/mari/LincLSR/GivenMasculineAlpha.html and in Withycombe pp.94-95 dated there to 1200 and 1207.

[de Tymberlake] found in Reaney and Wilson p.448 dated to 1281, the name is a locative, referring to a lost Timberlake in Worcestershire. 

Client cares most about sound and has previously attempted to register [Brondolf the Stout]( sent to Laurel 11/02), and Phineas Quinn which he withdrew. The client’s currently registered name (Kenric of Rohan) was registered on 3/02. The client also submitted a Change of Registered Name (for Morgan Greenleaf) on the 6/02 MK ELoI. If Morgan Greenleaf is registered by Laurel, the client requests that it be RELEASED. Client did not indicate what he wants done with Brondolf the Stout if it passes nor the associated armory. Client cares most about sound.
