I believe that a Conflict would be called on this, and even if it wouldn't,
in my opinion, it would be poor style to have two very different awards
named so close together, but a good thought process nonetheless!

Well...
I am not a herald per see...
But here is my input after looking over the listed activities that are to be
covered with this Award.
I cannot help but notice that there is only a few items that is required in
all of these activities - and one of them is a gauntlet or glove. So as a
name - how about the Sable Gauntlet of Ansteorra?
Would is this be a conflict with the Kings Gauntlet of Ansteorra and/or the
Queens Glove of Ansteorra?
