The current name, Brian the Pious, was registered October 2007. If the new name is registered, please retain the currently-registered one as an alternate. Brian is the client's legal name. Winterbourne is an English surname dated to 1564 with John Winterbourne, Lincoln, Lincoln, England, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JCQL-PYK, Batch B02569-3. The client is most interested in the sound of the name and will not accept Major changes to the name. He will not allow the creation of a holding name.
Duncan Redfern (Windale): NEW NAME and DEVICE Per fess Or and argent, a griffin passant contourny sable and two fern fronds crossed in saltire gules. The given name can be documented to Duncan Wallis, a male with the marriage date of 11 Jan 1629 in Saint Gregory By Saint Paul, London, Batch M05426-1 (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTJK-8P5).

Elizabeth is a female given name dated to 1587 with this spelling in “Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames: Elizabeth,” Talan Gwynek (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?Elizabeth).

Granite Mountain, Barony of (Granite Mountain): BADGE RESUBMISSION for the Order of Beauty of Granite Mountain from Laurel, April 2015 Per fess indented vert and sable, a pen bendwise sinister issuant from an inkwell Or. The Order name was registered April 2015. The badge submission was returned administratively, as the hand-colored form uploaded did not match the computer-generated mini emblazon apparent in OSCAR. Corrections have been made.
Gunnarr Berserkr (BoA): NAME RESUBMISSION from Laurel, March 2015 The previous
name submission, Gunnarr
Bearshirt, was
returned by Laurel for the following reasons: “The byname Bearshirt
was intended as a lingua Anglica form of the Old Norse byname
Berserkr.
However, the translation of this word is simply Berserker.
As the byname Bearshirt
could not be documented any other way, we are forced to return this
name.” The client is happy to go along with this. Gunnvarðr Egilsson (Mons Tonitrus): NEW NAME The name is Old Norse. Gunnvarðr is a male given name, FJ pp. 118, 344, 351 s.n. Gunnvarðr, Gunn-, -varðr , from Old Norse Men's Names in the Viking Answer Lady website, http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONMensNames.shtml#g. Egill is a male given name, GB p. 9 s.n. Egill; FJ pp. 74, 342, found in the same source. The clien desires a male name and is most interested in the meaning of the name.
Emelyn Fraser (BoA): NEW HOUSEHOLD NAME, Stonegard Keep, and BADGE (fieldless) A bat-winged sphinx sejant erect sable, face argent. The primary name was registered April 2014. Stone, associated with stone, masonry, and the like is demonstrated commonly as a “prefix” for a number of locative bynames (Stoneage, Stonebreaker, Stonestreet (Reaney and Wilson, 3rd edition, p. 429)). Gard/Guard, “guard, watchman,” usually stands alone (le Gard, 1279, la Garde 1309, Reaney and Wilson, 3rd edition, p. 183, s.n. Gard, Guard) or is the second element in a name (as Old French Bonegarde, Middle English Nicknames, I. Compounds, Jan Jönsjö, Lund Studies in English 55). The use of the term Keep arose in the June 2011 LoAR, when registering Summers Keep to Cassandra Attewoode and Pelican stated: “The next question is whether Keep can be a designator, or whether this must be registered as something like Summers Keep House. We are willing to give the submitter the benefit of the doubt that the element Keep found in bynames and placenames is a word meaning something like "castle." As words like Castle can be registered either as designators or as substantive elements within a household name, we can register this as submitted.” The submission is on the wrong form: badges are placed on “badge” forms, square ones.
Haukr Bjarnarson (Tir Ysgithr): NEW NAME CHANGE, from William of Lochridge The currently-registered name is William of Lochridge; that was registered May 2012. If this is registered, the old name should be retained as an alternate. The name is Old Norse. Haukr is a male given name found in “The Old Norse Name,” Geirr Barri Haraldsson, p. 10. Bjarnarson is a Norse patronymic byname formed from the given name Bjǫrn. The latter is cited as a Norse masculine given name in Geirr Bassi, which also specifies the genitive form Bjarnar and resulting patronymic Bjarnarson.
Isabeau della Farfalla (BoA): NEW BADGE Sable, a crescent argent charged with a butterfly azure. The name was registered June 1995.
Ismeralda Franceska Rusciolelli da Vale (Granite Mountain): NEW BADGE (fieldless) A human breast proper distilling three gouts Or. The name was registered May 2013. The blazon is based on the registered armory of (Fieldless) A human breast azure distilling three gouttes argent. (Tetchubah of Greenlake). I don't know if it shouldn't be a little more detailed (A human breast argent, nippled gules, distilling three gouts Or.).
Lia Winterbourne (Granite Mountain): NEW NAME CHANGE, from Lia le Citolur The original name was registered June 2012. If the new name is registered, retain the current one as an alternate. Lia is an early English feminine name dated to 1191, in "Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames: Lia," Talan Gwynek (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?Lia). Winterbourne is an English surname dated to 1564 with John Winterbourne, Lincoln, Lincoln, England, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JCQL-PYK, Batch B02569-3. The client is most interested in the sound of the name and will not accept Major changes to the name. She will not allow the creation of a holding name.
Michaelis Aurelius (Twin Moons): NEW HOUSEHOLD NAME, House Aurelius of Atenveldt, and NEW BADGE (Fieldless) On a bend engouled of two lions' heads Or three gunstones, overall a rapier bendwise sinister inverted Or. The personal name was registered July 1996. The locative “of Atenveldt” was added to clear the conflict with House Aurelius. However, I'm not sure that House Aurelius is a registered household. I can only find House Aurelium, registered to Goldwyn of Britain. The gunstones are found on the client's device, Gules, on a fess between a galley reversed Or and a sword inverted proper, three pellets.
Michaelis Aurelius (Twin Moons): NEW BADGE Per bend azure and purpure, on a bend engouled of two lions' heads Or, three gunstones. The personal name was registered July 1996. The locative “of Atenveldt” was added to clear the conflict with House Aurelius. However, I'm not sure that House Aurelius is a registered houesehold. I can only find House Aurelium, registered to Goldwyn of Britain. The gunstones are found on the client's device, Gules, on a fess between a galley reversed Or and a sword inverted proper, three pellets.
Sayyid ibn Tariq al-Muhibb (Twin Moons): NEW DEVICE Vert, a pile bendwise issuant from sinister base, in sinister chief the Greek letter pi argent. The name was registered June 2014.
The following appear in the May2015 Atenveldt Letter of Intent:

The following submissions were registered by the SCA College of Arms, April 2015: Granite Mountain, Barony of. Order name Order of Finesse of Granite Mountain and badge. Per fess indented vert and sable, a rapier Or and a bordure erminois. This
order name follows the pattern of naming orders after desirable
traits or abstract virtue. In commentary, Lions Heart documented
Finesse as a word meaning "Delicacy or subtlety of
manipulation or discrimation; refinement, refined grace" and
"Artfulness, cunning, subtle strategy", dated to the 16th
century (Oxford English Dictioanry). Submitted
as Order of the Beauty of Granite Mountain, we have removed the
definite article the to follow the pattern of orders named after
abstract qualities. Submitted
as Order of the Fury of Granite Mountain,
Fury is a late period English surname that can be used as a
given name. Therefore, this order name follows the pattern of an
order named after an individual. We have removed the article the
to follow the attested pattern. Submitted as Order of the Peregrine of Granite Mountain, the Letter of Intent argued that this order is named for a person, as a peregrine is a pilgrim or traveller in a foreign land. The examples of orders named after people or groups of people are the Order of the Grail-Templars of Saint George and the Order of the Fool. A fool is known by distinctive dress, so is a plausible heraldic charge. In June 2014, we ruled: Submitted as Award of the Hero of the Middle Marches, the cited examples support the patterns of a type of person as a heraldic charge (known by a distinctive manner of dress, as a fool or a monk), and of a legendary group of people like the Grail-Templars (most likely the Arthurian knights). A hero does not follow either of these patterns. It is a generic term that is not associated with a particular depiction that would be known by people in period. Similarly,
a pilgrim is a generic term, not associated with a particular
heraldic depiction. However, Peregrine can be documented as a
given name. Therefore, we have changed it to Order of
Peregrine of Granite Mountain in order to register the
name. This follows the period pattern of an order named for an
individual. Recently, we ruled the following: Parker, s.n. tree notes that parts of trees, such as the trunk, branches, stumps, and stock, are used as heraldic charges. In Heraldic Badges (https://books.google.com/books?id=x8ETAAAAYAAJ, p. 78), Fox-Davies blazons the badge of John of Lancaster, Duke of Bedford (a son of Henry IV) as "the root of a tree couped and eradicated or". As documented by the submitter, this badge was referenced in a 15th century poem concerning the death of the Duke, which stated, "The Rote is dead", and both roots and eradicated stumps appear prominently in the page depicting the Duke in the Bedford Hours from the same century (British Library Add. MS 18850, f.256v; http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Viewer.aspx?ref=add_ms_18850_f256v). In addition, Fox-Davies (ibid., p. 104) also includes the canting badge of Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester (a son of Edward III), found on a seal: "the stock or root of a tree". Root is the lingua Anglica form of the Middle English Rote or Roote. The Middle English Dictionary defines the term both as "a root of a tree or other plant" and "the base of a tree trunk", so it appears as though this term was used in period to refer to both the eradicated stump/stock and the roots themselves. In addition, modern sources consistently refer to the Duke of Bedford's badge as a root or tree-root. Therefore, we are able to give the Barony the benefit of the doubt that root is a plausible blazonry term for a period heraldic charge, and can register this order name as submitted. [Atenveldt, Barony of. Order name Order of the Root of the Barony of Atenveldt, December 2014, A-Atenveldt] Therefore,
we are able to register this order name. This is the defining instance of an hemp leaf. The submitter has documented both the knowledge and use of the plant in period Europe as well as the use of the plant in heraldry in 1461/2. Please
advise the submitter to draw the leaf entirely vertically so there is
no ambiguity about its orientation. In
commentary, Brían dorcha ua Conaill noted that Duibh Dara is
a plausible 12th century form, although Duib Dara is the
expected form. Therefore, we are able to give the submitted form the
benefit of the doubt. “Hjalmarsdottir is a patronym constructed from the attested name Hiálmarr/Hjálmarr. “The submitter's previous name, Francesca Valentina d'Ivrea, is retained as an alternate name. “The submitter's old device, Argent, a violet purpure slipped and leaved vert, a chief embattled gules, is retained as a badge.”
The following submissions were returned by the Atenveldt CoH for further work, April 2015: Gráinne
an Einigh inghean Uí Mháille. Device (see PENDS for name). Per
pale vert and argent, an olive tree counterchanged fructed sable and
a base rayonny Or. Granite Mountain, Barony of. Badge for Order of Beauty of Granite Mountain. Per fess indented vert and sable, a pen bendwise sinister issuant from an inkwell Or. This device submission is returned administratively: the hand-colored form uploaded does not match the computer-generated mini emblazon apparent in OSCAR. In particular, the bordure erminois on the submission form, although blazoned, is absent from the emblazon on the Letter of Intent. Computer-colorizing the OSCAR emblazons is in itself cause for return, as commenters need to be able to see the tinctures as they appear on the form. Granite Mountain, Barony of. Badge for Order of Peregrine of Granite Mountain. Per fess indented vert and sable, a falcon rising Or and a bordure erminois. This badge is returned for conflict with the device of Wilhelm von Adlersheim: Per bend sinister sable and gules, an eagle rising, wings elevated and inverted Or, a bordure erminois. There is only one DC for changing the field. Sibyll Hunter. Device. Erminois, three wolf's teeth issuant from dexter and three wolf's teeth issuant from sinister sable and in chief a fox salient gules marked sable. This device is returned for redraw, for violating SENA A2C2 which states "Elements must be drawn to be identifiable." Most commenters couldn't identify the fox. Blazoned on the Letter of Intent as co-primary fox and wolf's teeth, this arrangement would need to be documented. On redesign, let the submitter know that the wolf's teeth should be nearly touching at the center - there should not be enough space for the ermine spot there.
