SENA PN.2.E. Personal Names Style, Obtrusive Modernity

http:heraldry.sca.org/sena.html#PN2 #PN2EE. Obtrusive Modernity: No name will be registered that either in whole or in part is obtrusively modern. Something is said to be obtrusively modern when it makes a modern joke or reference that destroys medieval ambience and drags the average person mentally back to the present day. Obtrusiveness can be either in the written form or when spoken. A period name that has a modern referent will not generally be considered obtrusively modern. Only extreme examples will be returned. For example, names that have been ruled obtrusively modern and hence returned include Porsche Audi//, //Artemisian Tank Corps//, and //Geky Herald// (pronounced like "Geeky Herald"). Names like //Edmond Fitzgerald//, //Red Boke Herald//, //Drew Steele//, and //Mould de Cheder have been allowed.
