==PN.2.C. Name Requirements==
A name submission must be consistent with the standards laid out in this section for temporal and geographical compatibility. The position of each name phrase in the overall name must be shown to be appropriate for that type of name phrase in its language and cultural tradition. Patterns for name grammar in some languages can be found in Appendix A. Any pattern found there does not need further documentation; a reference to Appendix A will be sufficient. Other patterns require documentation.
For example, there is evidence for names in Spanish with two bynames in certain patterns. One pattern is a patronymic byname followed by a placename, as in Ruy Diaz de Bivar. That would justify Juan Perez de Madrid, but would not support the registration of Juan de Madrid Perez.
Note that name phrases submitted under the legal name allowance are considered gender neutral.
For example, a submitter whose legal given name is Avery could register either Avery mac Briain or Avery inghean Bhriain (regardless of their gender) as a culturally mixed name under PN2C2d. Likewise, a person with the legal name of Dancia could register either Dancia filia William or Dancia filius William and a person with the legal given name of Jayden could register Jayden Hakonsdottir or Jayden Hakonsson regardless of their gender.
For example, a person with the legal name Inga Finnbogadóttir could register William Finnbogadóttir regardless of their gender. This applies even if the byname is a literal matronymic rather than an inherited surname.
In addition, the name as a whole must follow a period pattern for personal names. Any name must follow the pattern described in one of the two sections below.
