[Northkeep] B'ville Canton

[Herndon, Darin]

The registration of a place name that already exists depends on several
factors.  Most important is whether the actual place had a significant
place in history.  For significant people conflicts, the usual source is
whether the person of the same name has an entry in Encyclopedia
Britannica.  For places, I am not sure how the college handles
significancy questions; I'll ask.  For example, even in period, there
were some city (more commonly village) names that were repeated even in
the same country (two villages, same name).  There will never be a Shire
of London in the SCA but I need to get more info on the actual Chemin
Noir to see if this is a problem.

I'm not sure if you can register a branch name that already exists
mundanly or not.  I know you can't do it for a person.
