*Cecily
Grace MacBean. * Name and device. Per chevron inverted argent and vert, a
bean plant leaved and fructed and a fish skeleton fesswise counterchanged.

Commenters noted that the pattern of using double given names in Scots is
not found in Appendix A of SENA. The use of double given names in Scotland
is found occasionally in the 16th and early 17th centuries (FamilySearch
Historical Records). As this pattern is uncommon, we decline to add it to
Appendix C at this time.

Blue Tyger was able to document the byname *Mcbean*, also in the
FamilySearch Historical Records. Therefore, we can expand the scribal
abbreviation and register the byname as *MacBean*.

*Celeste
Marie Beraud. * Name and device. Azure, a spider inverted argent charged on
the abdomen with a rose azure.

The given name *Celeste* can be registered as a feminized form of a
9th-11th century French masculine name, *Celestus* [Celeste d'Arezzo,
September 2008, A-Gleann Abhann].

*Beraud* is a French byname found in a Latin document dated to 1242
[Calendar of Close Rolls, Henry III: Volume 4: 1237-1242 (1911), pp.
448-456; http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=92874].
Therefore, it is compatible with the 11th century constructed *Celeste*.

*Fortuné
Stykewynd. * Badge. Azure, a trimount vert issuant from a ford proper, in
dexter chief an increscent argent.

This design was documented as an Individually Attested Pattern in late
period Italian armory. Orle provided more than sufficient evidence of both
vert trimounts on azure fields, as well as trimounts issuant from bases.

*Coenred
æt Rauenesdale. * Badge. (Fieldless) A lion's head erased gules charged at
the neck with an Anglo-Saxon cen rune argent.

This badge is returned for redraw. As depicted, the rune appears to be some
sort of internal detailing and, as such, this badge conflicts with the
badge of Lorcán Ó Fearghail: *Argent, a lion's head erased gules*.

On resubmission, the submitter should draw the rune larger and better
centered on the lion's head. Additionally, the erasing needs to be depicted
with fewer and larger jags.

*Tót
Derega. * Device. Per bend sinister vairy argent and vert, and argent, a
bend sinister raguly on the lower edge purpure between a bird volant
bendwise sable and a trefoil vert.

This submission is returned for a redraw. No documentation was provided by
the submitter or in commentary for such a depiction of a trefoil, with a
long stem forked at the end. On resubmission, the submitter should draw
more indentations on the raguly portion of the bend.

We note that Non Scripta provided documentation from Siebmacher for a bend
raguly on the lower edge.
