===From Pelican: No More SCA-Compatibility===
On the May 2008 Cover Letter, we ruled:
> Therefore, as of the May 2009 decisions meetings, we declare that no new name elements or name patterns will be ruled SCA-compatible, that all names previously ruled SCA-compatible are no longer SCA-compatible and that in order for them to be registered, documentation meeting the same standards as for non-SCA-compatible names will be required.
This ruling went into effect with this, the May 2009 Pelican meeting.

|'''Registerability of the Name ''Corwynn'''''An item this month raised discussion regarding exactly which spellings of ''Corwin'' are considered SCA compatible. The name ''Corwin'' is SCA compatible in the spellings ''Corwin'' and ''Corwyn''. The spelling ''Corwynn'' has only been registered twice, once in a name in 1975 and once as part of a holding name in 1999. As the spelling ''Corwynn'' does not have the same level of popularity as ''Corwin'' and ''Corwyn'', we will discontinue registering the form ''Corwynn'' beginning with the April 2003 decision meeting.

|This name has two weirdnesses. There is one weirdness for use of an element (in this case ''Corwyn'') that is only SCA compatible. ''Corwyn'' is a variant of ''Corwin'', which is an English surname that is SCA compatible as a given name. There is a second weirdness for combining English and Scots in a name (per the ruling for ''Katrina Rosehearty'' in the LoAR of September 2001). [Corwyn MacCamie, 09/2002 LoAR, R-Calontir]

|Corwin was ruled SCA-compatible in the cover letter for the December 1985 LoAR. ['''Corwin of Saxony''', [http://sca.org/heraldry/loar/2001/11/01-11lar.html 11/01], A-Ansteorra]

|... the name already has a weirdness with the use of ''Corwynn'', which is undocumented but SCA compatible, … ['''Corwynn the Lost''', [http://sca.org/heraldry/loar/1999/07/lar.html 07/99], R-Atenveldt]

|The standing precedent in the College (stated by Baldwin of Erebor, February, 1985) dictates that the name Corwin may not be used in conjunction with roses of any tincture. (LoAR 26 Nov 89, p. 35)

|Corwin and Fiona... have been registered a dozen or more times over a span of five or more years, many of them recent. Corwin is a surname being used as a given name. Fiona is an out-of-period feminization of a period masculine given name. Both names occur in modern fantasy stories, and so tend to be accepted without question by the membership of the SCA; and neither has been explicitly barred by Laurel (although some restrictions have been placed on Corwin). [BoE, cvr ltr, 29 Dec 85, p.5]

|There are some twenty Megans, Meghans, and Meggans already registered. As with Fiona and Corwin, I consider the name to be so much a part of SCA culture as to be acceptable, even if it is recent coinage. [BoE, 14 Apr 85, p.4]

|If the name Corwin is used, do not use a unicorn. (KFW, 20 Nov 78 [23], p. 1)
