[NR] Northern name--ownership question

[Kevinkeary]

Ah, then my initial position still stands. Were we the Northern Region of Ansteorra to select a regional name, our choices would be to use it without registration or to petition the Crown to register it under whatever definition They saw fit, and allocate it for our use as an identifying label. A petition that They, of course, being the Crown, might honor, ignore or denounce as They will.

Yes; prior to about 1985 or so, name registrations were VERY
and-waved, and sometimes not even noted as separate events on a LoAR
hen registered at the same time as a device.  In fact, the last
ention of "region of" that I could find was a return in July 1991:
Avacal, Region of. Device. Quarterly argent and Or, a griffin segreant
aintaining a sword and arrow gules, the sword environed of a laurel
reath vert.
he name is registered as a herald's title to the kingdom of An Tir.
o paperwork was received for a designator change. While in the past
rms have been registered to the regions of Ansteorra and Calontir, a
umber of commentors questioned whether this is a precedent we should
till follow. In a discussion with the Chairman of the Board of
irectors, she recommended against the registration of the names and
rmory of regions. Might we suggest that the region send in the
aperwork for a change in status to that of principality?
And that, I suppose, is that.

 Have the rules changed, then, since the names Calontir and Oertha were first 
egistered? Both were registered to their kingdoms, of course, but both were 
egistered as REGION names to start with.
