My name (I take it you meen the patronymic) has never been a problem. 
Everyone just calls me Lyonel.

Sir Morgan might not agree, but I consider the Chivalry a support group for 
recovering heralds. With all that fighting to do, who has time to nitpi--uh, 
make announcements? On the other hand, I'm sure some will argue that I 
simply got the sense knocked out of me. Having been a commenting herald of 
the SCA College of Arms, however, I cannot see how anyone could argue that 
such behavior was sensible.

We also have our own twelve step program. It begins, "Admit that you cant, 
and just stop it."

Seriously, I rib the consulting heralds, but I have a good deal of respect 
for court heralds and list heralds. It's a rough job being witty, 
articulate, and correct all while being loud, clear, and pleasant to the 
ear.

lo vostre por vos servir
Sir Lyonel Oliver Grace
