4: John le Mailur -New Household Name

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in July of 2017, via Meridies.

Cracked Spur Company

Meaning most important.

Extra attached documentation for John le Mailur

Spur is a heraldic charge, cited in the Pictorial Dictionary (http://mistholme.com/dictionary/spur/) as being found in Italian heraldry, and the same object is found in the MED (s.n. spore). The spelling spur is found in Shakespeare, Henry V, Act IV, scene 6: "From helmet to the spur all blood he was." Henry V was first performed in 1599. (http://www.britannica.com/topic/Henry-V-by-Shakespeare).

Cracked is a descriptive byname referring to a spur fracted. Fracted charges do happen in the SCA (such as sword fracted list in Pictorial Dictionary (example limited to intermittent internet). Cracked is closed to the vernacular. Cracked is not in the MED, so we still need to date the word.

Visual changes should be registrable as adjectives, such as Croskeyes (keys crossed) found in English Sign Names, (http://medievalscotland.org/kmo/inn/), dated to James I.

Company is a standard designator.

(More examples would be appreciated.)


5: Mary Lattimore -New Name (NP)

Submitter desires a feminine name.
The following changes are allowed: Latimore or Latimer or Lattimer
