ACCEPTANCES

Elaisse de Garrigues. Name.

Feichín Mac Giolla Fhindéin. Device. Per saltire argent and azure, in pale a raven sable and two roses in saltire slipped and leaved proper.

Fergus MacLennan. Name.

Submitted as Fearghus MacLennan, the submitter requested authenticity for 16th C Scotland. Kingdom had additional communication with the submitter and received clarification that he is "not at all interested in having his name be made authentic for 16th century Scotland, and would prefer the all anglicized form 'Fergus MacLennan'." As it so happens, Cornelian found documentation for Fergus in Scots in the submitter's desired time period:Black, sn Fergus gives Fearghus as the modern Gaelic, and Fergus as the Middle Gaelic spelling. Fergus is ALSO the standard English spelling and occurs in 16th C Scotland, I find an example of -Fergus- in the data from the Orkney Islands (http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~grm/orkney-masc.htm). It's also found in Black sn MacMuirray in 1530 and 1553. Black(p. 537 s.n. MacLennan) dates Adam M'Clenane to 1586, James Makclennand to 1594, and the byname M'Clanan to 1592. Given these examples, MacLennan is a plausible 16th C Scots form. Therefore, the submitter's desired Fergus MacLennan is authentic for his originally desired culture of 16th C Scotland.

Gonter van Kortrike.Device. Sable, a talbot’s head erased contourny and a label Or.

Gotschalg Sudermann.Alternate name Feradach mac Maíl Giric.
