Conflict, as it is used in these rules, is a modern concept which derives from the requirement in the Governing Documents that names have sufficient difference to avoid undue confusion. To be registered, a new submission must be clear of conflict with all registered personal names; this means that it must avoid undue confusion with them. There are two types of confusion which must be avoided: being too close to a registered personal name itself, and claiming to be a close relative of a registered personal name. These are described in these rules as "identity conflict" and "relationship conflict". | Conflict, as it is used in these rules, is a modern concept which derives from the requirement in the Governing Documents that names have sufficient difference to avoid undue confusion.

For identity conflict, a name submission is in conflict with a registered name when they are too similar either in sound or in appearance. A name submission that is substantially different in sound and substantially different in appearance from a registered personal name is clear of conflict with it. For relationship conflict, a name that makes an unmistakable claim of close relationship to a registered personal name is in conflict with it. This section of the rules sets the standards for how names can be substantially different. | For identity conflict, a name submission is in conflict with a registered name when they are too similar either in sound or in appearance.

To be clear of identity conflict, two names must be substantially different in both sound and appearance. Because conflict is a modern concept, we consider matters such as meaning, language, etymological origin, etc. to be irrelevant for conflict. Only sound and appearance are considered for difference. Thus, the Latinized form of a name may be clear of conflict with the vernacular form. While we do not go out of our way to consider variant pronunciations, we do consider important period and modern pronunciations of name elements. | |||
To be substantially different, a pair of names must be different in sound and appearance under the standards laid out below. Names may be different in sound under one standard and appearance under another standard. Names are compared as complete items, so that ''Lisa Betta Gonzaga// conflicts with //Lisabetta Gonzaga'', although the elements are different. | |||
To be substantially different, a pair of names must | |||
===C1. Changes to Two Syllables: === | ===C1. Changes to Two Syllables: === | ||
Names are substantially different if changes in sound and appearance affect at least two syllables (including adding, removing, or reordering them). If the changes only affect adjacent letters or sounds, they must affect more than two letters or sounds to be considered under this allowance. Change in spacing is a change in appearance, but is not considered a change in sound. Changes to any part of the name count, including articles and prepositions. | |||
> For example, ''Alana Red// is substantially different from //Elena Reed//, because at least two syllables change in both sound and appearance. //Maria Smith// is substantially different from //Miriam Smith//, because it removes one syllable and changes another in both sound and appearance. //Richard Loudeham// is substantially different from //Richard Loveman'', because two syllables have changes to them. | |||
For example, | > For example, ''Anne Jones London// is substantially different from //Anne Joan of London//, because it changes one syllable in both sound and appearance and removes another. //John de Aston// is substantially different from //John Asson//, because it adds one syllable and changes another in both sound and appearance. //William Underthecliff// is substantially different from //William Cliff//, because it adds three syllables. //Margaret atte Mor// is substantially different from //Margaret de la Mor''; because it changes two syllables in both sound and appearance. | ||

===C3. Substantial Change of Single-Syllable Name''' Phrase:=== | |||
Two names with a comparable single-syllable name phrase are eligible for this rule. A pair of name phrases are said to be comparable if they both have the same position in the name, such as given name or first byname. Comparable single-syllable name phrases are generally substantially different in sound if a group of adjacent vowels or of adjacent consonants within a word are completely changed, so that it shares no sound in common. In rare cases, the sound may still be too similar for this rule to clear the conflict. The change of a single letter is sufficient for two eligible name phrases to be different in appearance, as such name phrases are quite short. On a case by case basis, two-syllable names phrases may be eligible for this rule, such as ''Harry// and //Mary''. | |||
> For example, ''John Smith// is substantially different from //Jane Smith//. //Anne Best// is substantially different from //Anne West//. //Ellen Lang// is substantially different from //Ellen Long//. //James Ed// is substantially different from //James Lead''. In each case, an adjacent group of vowels or consonants is completely changed in sound and appearance. | |||
> For example, ''Matthew Joan// is not substantially different from //Matthew Jones// because the //n// and //nz// groups share a sound and a letter. //Richard Blott// is not substantially different from //Richard Lot// because the //bl// and //l// group share a sound and a letter. //Katerine de la Mar// is not substantially different from //Katerine de la Mor'' because they don't have comparable single-syllable name phrases and cannot use this rule. | |||

To be clear of relationship conflict, the submitted name must not unmistakably imply close relationship with a protected person. This includes, but is not limited to, a claim to be the parent, child, or spouse of a protected person. An unmistakable implication generally requires the use of the entirety of a protected name. The relational marker does not need to be in the new submission for conflict to apply. That is, if a registered item includes a relational marker followed by a complete name and the new submission is the same as that complete name, it is in conflict. Names are still protected from relationship conflict even if grammar requires that the name be modified in order to demonstrate the relationship. Adding an element not in the protected name is generally enough to remove relationship conflict. | To be clear of relationship conflict, the submitted name must not unmistakably imply close relationship with a protected person.

For example, ''Miryam bint Da'ud// is not an unmistakable claim to be the child of //Da'ud ibn Auda//, but //Miryam bint Da'ud ibn Auda// is. //Felicia uxor Willemi le Tailor// is an unmistakable claim to be the wife of a registered //Willemus le Tailor//, even though there is a change in appearance of the given name, because the change is necessitated by the grammar.

For relationship conflict, a letter of permission to claim relationship from the owner of the registered item is sufficient to allow the registration of a personal name. This does not require demonstrating that the individual has that legal relationship. You can give a stranger permission to have a name that appears to be the name of your child, parent, or spouse. | For relationship conflict, a letter of permission to claim relationship from the owner of the registered item is sufficient to allow the registration of a personal name.
