[NR] Northern name--ownership question

[barrett1 at cox.net]

We are still in the midst of deciding if we (a sizable majority) want to have a distinct name. I think that will continue to be discussed for some time.

However, if we do, what about this?

A.) Have the people vote to determine the top five names.
B.) See how many of those names can be registered, and register them all as multiple titles for the Regional Herald.
C.) Vote on those registered names, and release the others when the final name is chosen by the people.

>From that point, the chosen name would be the registered title of our Regional herald.

Now that is just my idea, my suggestion, something to consider.

What, if anything, we chose to do with that registered heralds title in the future would be a different discussion. If we do wish to apply it further, it would be ours to use.
 
Would this not work for some reason? Would this not be allowed due to some rule of the College of Heralds?

I don't have enough knowledge of the system to know for certain.

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.
