<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a client who wishes to have a 15th Century
Dutch name. Using information found at <SPAN

face=Arial size=2> he has decided on a given name of Elrick which is dated
between 1478 and 1481, and a surnname of van Licht found at <A
href="http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/dutch15surnames.html">http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/dutch15surnames.html</A> which
dates it from 1478. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

problem lies in that he wishes to add the descriptive "een breedsprakig"
which he found in a Dutch-English dictionary. "Een breedsprakig" according
to his dictionary means long-winded. I have no idea if "van
Lichteenbreedsprakig" would even be a registerable name.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

anyone have any idea if this is a possible name or should I send him back to the
drawing board? I've already had to steer him away from wanting to register
"Elrick van Lichteensteen".</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
