I suspect <i> or <aff> would be better for a late placename. I found these:

• 1307 <i Ribe> https://diplomatarium.dk/dokument/13070420001
• 1325-1334 <i Ribe> https://diplomatarium.dk/dokument/13259999001
• 1513 <Jwer Mwnck i Ribe> https://www.dokpro.uio.no/cgi-bin/middelalder/diplom...?...
• 1529 <Clawes Gørtssen Erchiden aff Ribe> https://www.dokpro.uio.no/cgi-bin/middelalder/diplom...?...

We need to push the given name back about 100 years to meet the authenticity request given Orle's 1529 attestation of aff Ribe. Of course, that assumes something dated from Diplomatarium Norvegicum is also authentic for Denmark. I think in writing it probably is (especially in this period) but not in pronunciation from what I've read.

Unfortunately, I don't find Amalia in Diplomatarium Norvegicum. Nor do I find it at FamilySearch or Ancestry in the 16th C. It looks like the name didn't arrive in Scandinavia until the 17th C; I'm finding it earlier in German.

Is the submitter more interested in an authentic name or in this name?

The first FamilySearch citation for Wyatt is not usable as it cites FindAGrave. The second citation is also not usable as it includes neither an image or valid batch number. However, these citations are not necessary.

You need to cite the title and author of source, unless you are citing an AH Appendix H short form. Ragged Staff already provided that information for the given name. For Wyatt, the source is "Brass Enscription Index" by Julian Goodwyn.

This is a resub device change. Her currently registered device is Argent, a pine tree couped and on a chief vert three mullets argent. According to the Feb. 2023 LoI it was to be released. Is that still the case?

On the May 2023 LoAR Wreath changed the blazon to

Vert, a bend sinister sable fimbriated, overall a wolf's head erased contourny argent

Daniel O'Sullivan of Beare is not registered as an alternate name. If Daniel and Elizabeth are the same person, one of the names should be identified as an alternate name and a correction made so that they are correctly listed in the O&A. If they are not the same person, this needs to be listed under Daniel O'Sullivan of Beare. If this is intended to be a joint badge, it should be listed under Elizabeth Fraser and Daniel O'Sullivan of Beare (OSCAR is smart enough to recognize that the "and" means that there are two people).

A bow with arrow nocked takes its orientation from the bow; the orientation of the arrow is not blazon. A bow defaults with its string to sinister, so this on is reversed. Capitalizing the initial word of the blazon and adjusting the terminology for the bow and arrow gives:

Per saltire argent and vert, a maple leaf and a bow with an arrow nocked reversed gules

Unless you are using a short form citation from AH Appendix H, you need to cite the title and author of the source. For Amargein that is "Index of Names in Irish Annals" by Mari Elspeth nic Bryan. For the construction that is actually the Feb. 2011 CL at https://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2011/02/11-02cl.html.

As noted in that CL, "The first kind of family names were clan affiliation bynames, which for men take the form Ó followed by the name of clan founder in the genitive (possessive) case". Mari's article shows that Amargein is the nominative form of the name; she doesn't list a genitive form. Precedent states "The question was raised in commentary as to what the genitive form of Amargein is. In fact, the genitive form for Amargein is Amargein." [Caìrech nic Amargein, 02/1999, A-Meridies]. That means that the name is correctly formed.

There is a typo (presumably) in the submitted name; it should be Hróbjartsson (the j has been dropped).

The url for Ary's article has been truncated. It is https://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/norse/sg-viki...#.... It may be easier to simply state "The patronymic is formed in accordance with the examples shown on p. 17 of Geirr Bassi."

I think this still conflicts with Konstantinos. In Nov. 2018 Amye Goldwyn's device was reblazoned (at their request) from Per pale purpure and Or, two dragons sejant respectant and in chief two bars wavy all counterchanged to Per pale purpure and Or, two dragons sejant respectant and a chief wavy barry wavy all counterchanged. At the time Wreath commented, "As the requested blazon is a reasonable description of the armory, the request is granted." That means that this can also legitimately be blazoned as a chief barry purpure and Or, in which case there is only a single DC for changing the tincture of the chief.

An <øyðigarðr> is a deserted farm, from <eyði>, "waste, desert", and <garðr> "garth, yard, house, village". I'm not really sure this would be found in a locative byname, since if the farm is abandoned nobody lives there. A lot of late charters in Scandinavia describe these abandoned places, but it's usually listed as <en øde gaard i placename> "one abandoned farm at placename" or in Latin curia desolata. About half of all farms were abandoned in the late Middle Ages, I guess due to plague etc. (https://www.norskstadnamnleksikon.no/Art3.aspx)

Oluf Rygh's Norwegian Placenames has a number of Norwegian farms with his name (https://tinyurl.com/OdegaardPlacenames), though most are quite late. A handful of the ones that show up before 1650 include:

• Headword: Ødegaarden
  • 1603 Ødegaarden
  • 1606 Ødegardt
  • 1616 Ødegaard
    
    
• Headword: Ødegaarden
  • 1603 Ødegaard
    
    
• Headword: Ødegaarden
  • 1603 Ekernes Ødegaard
    
    
• Headword: Ødegaarden (2 farms)
  • 1610 Ødegaardt

The first source cited is Diplomatarium Norvegicum. Sæbjørn is in the summary, which is (I believe) modern Norwegian with standardized names. The name in the charter is Sebiørn.

The second source cited is "Names of Scandinavians in the Byzantine Varangian Guard and in Russia" by Gunnvôr silfrahárr. It lists Sæbjôrn, not Sæbjørn, as the normalized Old West Norse form. I don't know if ô is being used to represent ǫ, though I suspect that it is. Gunnvǫr would be able to confirm this. The normalized form should be registerable as it is a "standard scholarly way of presenting Old Norse names".

The third source cited is also Diplomatarium Norvegicum. You need to provide a translation, not simply copy the text. Google translate works, even if the translation isn't perfect. What is listed here is the summary of the charter. The spellings don't necessarily match the spellings actually found in the charter. Google translate doesn't recognize Ødegaard, but a deserted farm makes sense in context: "Arvid Sjurdssøn in Lilleby states that he has sold to a well-to-do man Nils Posse his farm Lilleby with an adjoining Ødegaard Graarød in Borge Parish in Aamord Skibrede for 80 Norwegian marks, which he has raised." The spelling in the charter is ødegardh, not Ødegaard.

The submitter already has a device registered, Quarterly gules and Or, a mermaid dexter arm raised argent between three mullets of eight points counterchanged Or and sable. Do they wish to retain or release this?

Three charges on a per pall field will default to one charge in each section. Reblazon recommendation:

Per pall Or, purpure and sable, a star of Ansteorra and two bears rampant respectant each maintaining a Danish axe argent

Argent a padlock bendwise sinister, the shackle enfiling the bow of a key inverted contouny bendwise sable, a base sable masoned argent

Jeanne Marie Lacroix (Palimpsest) at 2023-08-16 19:44:50
I think the key is a maintained charge - it certainly doesn't have the visual weight of the lock.

The orientation of the lock needs to be blazoned, though that of the key need not be (per SENA Appendix I5). The base is embattled, which needs to be blazoned.

I'm not certain of the best way to blazon this. Perhaps:

Argent, a padlock bendwise sinister dependent from the shackle a key sable, a base embattled sable masoned argent.
