[ANSTHRLD] question

[Bordelon, Wendel]

Hello Annes,

Yes.  You many have 4 items of armory (1 device, 3 badges) and
4 names (primary, alternate, household).  So you can indeed
register an alternate name.

> 2.  If yes, does the process of submitting the name the same as in

Yes.  It is another submission.  Just be sure to indicate on the
name registration form that it is an alternate name submission.

> 3.  I went to St. Gabriel but

Saint Gabriel is a wonderful source for period naming practices
and documentable names.  But there is a difference between
"truely period" and what is registerable.  The docuementation
standards for the names we register are looser than the names
you will find on the St. Gabriel site.   We should all strive
for the accuracy of the Academy but realize there is a difference.
