The Academy found Zelda and called it plausible for Germany circa 1298.

They found some really good instances of beggar as an English byname in
a timeperiod close to Zelda:
> >   le Beggare 1275
> >   Beggestere 1301
> >   Beggare    1314

The cover letter to the Loar dated January 2002 says tht mixing English
and German in a name is a registerable weirdness.

Therefore, "Zelda le Beggare" or "Zelda Beggestere" or "Zelda Beggare" are
all registerable by virtue of having no temporal incompatibility and
therefore only the single weirdness of linguistic blending.

I'd suggest "Zelda le Beggare" as the form closest to what your client
wants and "Zelda Beggestere" if she wants to be as accurate as possible
under the circumstances.  If she's really interested in historic accuracy,
the all-German form really rocks, of course.  :)

Additionally, with the instance of "der Bettler" dated to German in 1320,
it proves that the byname is plausible for that language in period.  So
by virtue of the lingua anglica allowance, your client can, indeed, get
"Zelda the Beggar" registered.

Feel free to use this email as support for any of the name forms I
recommended above.  The Academy provided the documentation, I think
I did a good argument for the formation.
