SENA PN.1 Personal Names Content - http:heraldry.sca.org/sena.html#PN1 ‍B. '2. 'b. Constructed Name Phrases: Name phrases may be constructed from attested period name elements. To do this, documentation must be provided to demonstrate that the name phrase follows a period pattern. We generally require at least three examples to consider something a pattern, as sometimes a single name phrase can create the appearance of a pattern that does not actually exist. The examples should closely match the constructed name phrase. For example, taken alone, the English given name Rose// appears to originate from the name of the flower; however, research suggests that it originates from an Old English word //hros//, 'horse'. Therefore, it cannot be used to justify names like //Hyacinth. All of the elements and patterns for a constructed name phrase must come from a single time and place. We do not allow constructed name phrases that are created by using patterns from one time and place with elements from another time and place.
