<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings to all who read this!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My apologies for bothering the lists with so many
questions, but I am still working in finding a registerable Middle Eastern name
that I also like. I was looking at Turkish for a while, but I am now back
to considering Arabic. With that said, I am looking at this as a
possiblity:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>jawhara al-zahra.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am also considering adding a patronimic, but I
was looking for comments on what I have so far.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is a new article that I just found through
the SCA website:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><A
href="http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/geniza.html">http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/geniza.html</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It lists "jawhara" as a name, and even though the
records are of Jewish women from the Geniza, the article also states that the
names are mostly Arabic.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've also found al-zahra through a St Gabriel's
report:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><A
href="http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi?1769+0">http://www.panix.com/~gabriel/public-bin/showfinal.cgi?1769+0</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Would these two articles be considered acceptable
documentation for the CoH? If so, would I need to search for more
documentation, or would this possibly be enough? Any
comments/suggestions/constructive criticism would be gladly
welcomed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My thanks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Susan (looking to become jawhara
al-zahra)</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
