Hrm.  I'm seeing in my tworped and wisted little herald's head,
(Fieldless) A shark naiant argent semy of roundels azure and vert.

Colm can help with the inn sign to household name bit.  He's done a nice
study of the subject (which I've misplaced...  ARGH!).
I actually think "White Shark" might work as an inn sign, but we'd have to
make sure that "shark" is a period word and that it was applied to the
critter we know as a shark.
Okay, you'll really want an OED lookup for this, but the online Merriam
Webster at http://www.m-w.com/netdict.htm dates the word "shark", meaning
the marine fish we know, to the 15th century.

I think it's acceptible.  Have you checked it for conflict yet?

	forget a field tincture here, there isn't any, so sod off".
