Significant expansion of the documentation was provided in commentary but it was confusing as to if this was actually pro- or anti- regarding supporting the submission, nor are we entirely sure as to which parts were actually relevant or not. We recommend looking to the proto rather than copying a significant thesis on the matter into this letter.

Submitter is primarily concerned with the association of the given name to (birds, swallows.)

Orle requested credit for a citation for Svala: http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONWomensNames.shtml but it is unknown if this was actually used or if the submitter used the actual physical copy of GB that her baronial herald has in his possession. Also, we would like to cite 'Svala' as being an NPC character in the Dragon Age series of games, though we do not feel that this rises to the point of a protected name or obtrusive modernity.

The diminutive "Tom" can be found in Yorkshire Masculine Names from 1379, compiled by Talan Gwynek. http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/yorkshire/york... . Withycombe in the place cited also documents period usage of the hypocoristic form <Tom>: "The usual medieval abbreviation of Thomas was Thome, later (from the 14th C) Tom." Withycombe also explicitly cites an instance of <Tom> from the Yorkshire Poll Taxes in 1379, probably the same one cited in Scott's article." -copied from OSCAR entry for Tom Drum Builder, Atlantia LoI - 2013-11-30, accessed 8/16/2023

We can find the name spelled Holliday in Reaney and Wilson, sn Haliday, etc., with dated spellings in 1179-94 and in 1188 and 1524.

While 'Holliday' is the submitter's legal surname, Haliday might avoid any entanglements regarding trying to register the submitters full legal name.
