Lots of these are from Coronation but the huge group will be in the
September ILOI.

Fast-Track #1, Ciaran O'Neill
The accents were in the original research I did on the name.  Ansteorra has
a habit of deleting such characters.  They should be restored before it was
sent up.  Conflict checking this item was an endless list of spelling
combinations.

I will conflict check the fast tracks to make sure nothing was missed.

3. Cassia MacWilliam
The name looks well documented this time around.
Green bears are not very much of a conflict problem.

4.  Constance MacLeod
Consider this from the Danse Macabre.

Death leaping from Hell on his charger with arrow and coffin, to claim his
rights over mortals. From Le grant kalendrier, printed by Nicolas le Rouge,
Troyes, 1496.
The coffin is depicted in period art 1496 and has been previously registered
in the SCA.

6.  Kathryn atte Unicorn
The documentation was edited either at local or Asterisk.  The OED entry
gives period dated examples of weeping used as an adjective.  Crying statues
and Madonnas have been around since at least the 1600s and I could probably
push them back further than that.

As early as 1658 the picture of the Mother of God with Child, also called
the Weeping Madonna, was recognised by Church authorities as "famous for
miracles".
I will pull the OED entry for commentary and give a longer discussion.  For
now it appears to me the household name elements are period, weeping can be
used as an adjective here, and a weeping figure can be depicted on an inn
sign.  If an icon of Mary can be depicted in period as weeping then a
unicorn can as well.  Household names are an SCA invention and this is far
from the worst I have seen registered.

7.  Marquet de la Hyet
Now everyone's a modern art critic.
The submitter was not satisfied with the consideration by kingdom and I
believe this should be considered by the CoA.  I like Daniel's wording to
accompany the appeal.

8) Namron
If they get a pile wavy vairy then we could watch the tornado vacuum up the
little squirrels.
