Agnes is an English given name found in this spelling dated between 1153 and 1586 in Talan Gwynek, "Feminine Given Names in A Dictionary of English Surnames" (https://www.s-gabriel.org/names/talan/reaney/reaney.cgi?...).

Lamb is a given name and byname found in R&W, s.n. Lamb. The example Lamb de Harewude is dated to 1290, and John Lamb is found in the MED dated to 1270.

de Baa is a locative byname found in Dublin Guild Merchant Roll, c. 1190-1265 (Editors: Philomena Connolly and Geoffrey Martin), with the example Hervicus de Baa found on p.4. The merchants listed are from Ireland, Scandinavia, France, Germany, England, Belgium, Spain, and Italy, with the names largely rendered in Middle English, Anglicized Irish, and Latin (meaning for the most part, not that they wrote the names in a really large font).

In this case, the place-name Baa appears to refer to the northern French village of Bahais, according to H.S. King & Company, The Norman People and Their Existing Descendants in the British Dominions and the United States of America, s.n. Baugh (https://books.google.com/books?...).

5: Cressent Harald le crieur - New Name (NP) & New Device

Argent, four crescents conjoined in saltire horns outward gules

Submitted as Cressent Harald, the name was changed with the submitter's permission as described below.

Cressent is a Jewish given name recorded in Tours in 1314. It is found in Aryanhwy merch Catmael, "Jewish Given Names Found in Les Noms Des Israélites en France"(http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/jewish/levy/ and http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/jewish/levy/c...).

Harald is an unmarked patronymic byname dated to 1327 in R&W, s.n. Harold. It is also found as a given name in the MED, dated between c.1300 and 1475, and as an unmarked patronym in 1300 ['Close Rolls, Edward I: February 1300', in Calendar of Close Rolls, Edward I: Volume 4, 1296-1302, ed. H C Maxwell Lyte (London, 1906), p. 375. British History Online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/cal-close-rolls/edw1/vol4/...].

This name is identical in sound with "Crescent Herald", a use form of Crescent Principal Herald (Caid), and possibly of the real-world heraldic title Crescent King of Arms (France).

Under PN4E of SENA, "A personal name may not give the false appearance of being a territorial name, a rank or title, or an order or award; a name may make the appearance of a household name on a case by case basis. A personal name may not be identical to the name of any non-personal entity we protect."

The submitter has allowed the addition of the second byname le crieur ("the cryer") to avoid the issue of PN4E. This byname is found in Aryanhwy's article on the 1292 Census of Paris, cited above, as well as in the MED (as le Crieur), dated to 1269. We made this change before sending it up. He offered to add a marked locative using the branch name allowance, of Caid, but we said that was Right Out under PN4B1 of SENA (the so-called "Regina the Laundress" rule).

Under Appendix C of SENA, "Jewish names documented from location X are registerable with (1) other names documented from the languages for that language group". English and French were combined in period (Anglo-Norman was the language used in the English court and for official documents from the 13th century), and Jewish names were found in both locations (the Jews were largely expulsed from England c.1300), so the combination of a Jewish name from France, an English byname, and an Anglo-Norman descriptive byname from c.1300 should be registerable.

Company of Men

(Fieldless) A fountain within and conjoined to three horsemen in annulo Or

This household name follows the pattern of naming a ship's company/crew after their ship.

Company is the lingua Anglica form of the designator Compania or Compańia. The former is found in CORDE dated between 1376 and 1614, among other instances, and the latter is found in John Minsheu's 1599 A Dictionarie in Spanish and English (http://www.ems.kcl.ac.uk/content/proj/anglo/dict/pr...).

Men is a Spanish given name found in Juliana de Luna, "Spanish Names from the Late 15th Century" (https://www.s-gabriel.org/names/juliana/isabella/Men...).

In general, the majority of Spanish ships from our period were named after saints or other religious figures (or towns named after saints). However, several ships of the Spanish Armada were named after people without the use of "saint": Augusta, Júlia, Diana, Juliana, and David (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ships_of_the_... and Robert Hutchinson, The Spanish Armada, https://books.google.com/books?...).
