I humbly asked:
>> A household name submission of the format "House of the <adjective>
>> <noun>" 

Daniel fairly inquired:
>A fair number of those are registerable, I think mostly due to
>ignorance of period inn signs and because SCA households usually don't
>fit period models.  I know I'm gonna regret this question: what's the
>adjective and what's the noun?  (It's never something nice like "House
>of the Red Cow"; it's always "House Sesquipedalian Bellydancers" or
>"House Roaring Cricket" or other unlikely things.)

Initially, it was "House of the Meandering Bovine" but we determined that "bovine" is not even
a period term.  So, the submitter is now trying to get "bovinus" and "migrare,"  latin for 
"bovine" and "meandering."
