    Name documentation is not my strongest area as a Herald, still I have a 
few thoughts here.   Note that I don't have access to my references so I'm 
not sure what the time period was for "Merrik"
    Granting the different languages I would still think that English - Norse 
is not an unreasonable mix.   
    The Surname Villtr - meaning "Foolish or Uruly" and Har meaning "hair" 
seems to me a reasonable descriptive on the same pattern as Erik Blood-Axe or 
 Ragnarr Lodbrok (Shaggy-Breeches).  
    Much of our knowledge of Old Norse comes from the Sagas written in the 
13th and early 14th Centuries.  Did the language change so drasticly between 
then and the dates for Merrik as to render this name construction invalid?  I 
might be wrong but I believe that the Norse language was fairly stable 
throughout the latter part of our period.

    I hadn't noticed the different body positions, but did tell him that the 
third ear might be a proublem.  He wanted to see if he could register it with 
3 because he thought it was more symmetrical that way, but is willing to lop 
off one ear if necessary.  Personally I like it better with 3 ears.

    To be clear of conflict the name must look different and sounds 
different.  This looks and sounds different to me.
