I present the following items for your consideration:
1- Benedict Hawkins. New Name Submission.
(Caer Galen)
"Benedict" is cited in the online article "Men's Given Names from
Early 13th Century England" by Talan Gwynek. This is in the
Names section of the Laurel site.
"Hawkins" is listed in Reaney & Wilson. It is an undated form
but other forms range from 1248 to 1570. Client would prefer this
spelling but "Haukyns" is documented to 1327 and would be acceptable as
the sound is the same.
Submittor will NOT accept major changes and the sound is most
important. Desired gender is male.
3-Keridwen Andersdottir. Primary Name Change.
(Caer Galen)
Previous
name "Keridwen Androsoun" was accepted by Laurel in February 1997.
Client wishes to keep her registered personal name "Keridwen".
However, she wishes to change her surname to a more appropriately
feminine form for a Viking persona.
In the "Finnish Names" article on the Laurel site by Rouva Gertrud, the
author states that "a patronymic was the norm" for surnames and uses
the example Appollonia Pedersdottir (Pietari's daughter).
"Anders" is in this article's name list as a masculine name.
Submitter will accept minor spelling or construction changes to get as
close as possible to "Andersdottir". The sound of the name is
most important and the gender is feminine.
In service and duty,
Cameron, Castle Herald
