I believe ours was passed during one of the periods when they allowed 
names to conflict if there was a modifier...ours is the Order of the 
Golden Dolphin.  And it may be that Caid gave permission for the 
conflict...I dunno.  I wasn't around when it originally passed back when 
Atlantia was first a Principality...and when we went Kingdom, we simply 
upgraded the Principality Order to Kingdom status. 

I know that the CoH has gone thorugh periods when they allowed this sort 
of similarity and others where they did not.  It has taken me 15 years 
or more to get an heraldic title passed because I wanted "dragon" in the 
name.  I would be told that they allowed modified conflicts...and by the 
time I got the submission off, they had changed their minds again.  I 
finally made it with a translated version of "golden 
dragon"...Kanatatsu.  Sigh.
