Emma's response is not uncommonly summarized as "The CoA doesn't do
panty checks".

Further, E. G. Withycombe, in the introduction to her work, states
that women in England could bear male names, stating further that it
wasn't a feminized name like Richarda or something, but actually
Richard, Nicolas, or whatnot.

What's the entire name, culture, and time?  I wonder if this is the
Joselin that I consulted with a few years ago.
