October 2006 - attested patterns for women[edit | edit source]
Aureliana Octavia Avita. Name. This name does not follow an attested pattern for either Roman or Byzantine women's names. If analyzed as a Roman name, the name uses the pattern [nomen] + [nomen] + [cognomen]. However, we have no evidence that Roman names used this pattern. The most common pattern for a Roman woman's name is [(father's) nomen (in the feminine form)] + [cognomen]. Likewise, for a Byzantine Greek name, we would expect a given name and a patronymic or family name. We have no examples of a Byzantine woman's name with two given names and a descriptive byname. To make this name registerable, either the first or the second name needs to be dropped; this would provide the Roman [nomen] + [cognomen] style name. However, this is a major change which the submitter will not accept. http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2006/10/06-10lar.html
From October 2006 - attested patterns for men[edit | edit source]
Titus Adelphus Lupus. Name. As documentation for this name claimed that the name followed the pattern [praenomen] + [cognomen] + [agnomen]. However, no documentation was submitted and none supplied by the commenters to suggest that such a pattern was found in Roman names. Barring such documentation, names following these patterns are not registerable. To make this name registerable, we suggest adding a nomen. Names of the pattern [praemomen] + [nomen] + [cognomen] + [agnomen] are attested in Roman naming practices; adding a nomen after the praemomen in the submitted name would follow this attested pattern.
