==March 2014 Cover Letter: Legion XXIV and Acceptable Sources for Roman Names==
In January, we made the following ruling:
* Due to the number of mistakes in the Legion XXIV "Roman Names" article, it should not be used as the sole documentation for a name element. We recommend instead that submitters use the articles on Roman names found at http://heraldry.sca.org/names.html#roman, such as the recently released "A Simple Guide to Imperial Roman Names" by Ursula Georges. [Quintus Artorius Mica, 01/2014, A-Caid]
This should have also been placed on a Cover Letter. I am correcting this omission.

Additional resources can be found at the Academy of Saint Gabriel site (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/otherearly.shtml#roman). Please note that these sources are not no-photocopy, with the exception of the client reports and articles also on the Laurel website.

==October 2006 - attested patterns for women==
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.

==From October 2006  - attested patterns for men==
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.
