Why of course, Mariah, you are absolutely correct...as always.

 Eule, you best keep thinking along these lines ">From my own
experience, you don't "train" either...you simply work with them to
tolerate your presence!"

You know *way* too many alpha women to think along any others.  ;-)

Brynhilder quoted:
"("women and falcons are easy to tame, if you go about it in the right
way")"

To which Eule is quite amazed:
Bahahaha!

>From my own experience, you don't "train" either...you simply work with
them to tolerate your presence!

But, as I'm often fond of saying...when dealing with an alpha female,
what works best is to let them "think" they are the one in charge. Works
like a charm.

Bet you'd have no problem.  (Though I have a bad record [say 33%] of 
accurately predicting "no problem" with heralds on onomastics issues.)

St. Sophia was a 4th c. martyr.  Whether her name was frequent among,
say, 
12th-c. German speakers I don't know.  I suspect not, but it's not
beyond 
possibility.

Federspil is a cool byname.  Lexer's medieval German dictionary lists it

(under "vederspil," but that makes no odds -- as you say, it's not like 
spelling was standard) as meaning Birds used in falconry, by extension
Birds 
in general.  But where the word sends any medievally-inclined 
German-speaker's head is to this poem:

http://www.tempus-vivit.net/tempus-vivit/bibliothek/lyrik_epik/kuerenber
g_wip_unde_vederspil.html

("women and falcons are easy to tame, if you go about it in the right
way") The author is "the guy from Kürenberg" -- we don't know his first
name.  The 
earliest high-medieval German poet on record (mid-12th-century).

Hey, it's probably where you got the name.

Go for it.  What's to lose?
