ANSTHRLD - Name Submission Question

[Riane de Cygne]

As per request:

    The given name the client has been going by is Evets ( his mundane name 
backwards). He is very attached to the name. His chosen persona is German 
(any acceptable time frame will do). His chosen surname is "von 
Drachenklaue" ( name taken from a German soldier who became the emperor of 
Byzantium in the 8th century).
    The name I suggested to him was "Veit" (1558) found in Medieval German 
Given Names from Silesia: Men's Names by Talan Gwynek. However I did let the 
client know that he had the option of registering a byname that was closer 
to the one he is attached to.
    Reaney & Wilson (p.157) lists Evatt, Evett, Evetts, Evitt,and Evitts, 
but gives Euota (1317), Evette(1420), Euote (1295), Evett (1555), and Evatts 
(1624). However they are feminine English given names. Although he was less 
than thrilled about registering a feminine name he wanted to keep Evets. I 
did let him know there was a possibility that the name might be returned; 
and that he might have more luck with "Veit" and go by Evets amongst his 
friends, after all he wouldn't be the first to do such a thing.
     The question he asked was could he attempt to register
"Evets von Drachenklaue" as his primary choice and submit an alternative 
"Veit von Drachenklaue" at the same time on the off chance that Evets would 
not pass.
                                                  Thanks,
                                                      Riane
