===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.

=== Compiled Name Precedents: Silver SCA-compatible in Order Names===

|Using a placename in an Order name was declared a step from period practice in 11/96. However, Argent Snail argues, "If you look at the list of order names, there are ones that have place names in them, usually because there is more than one order with the same name -eg the Order of Saint Jaelle of Jersusalem and the Order of Saint Jaelle of London." Meradudd Cethin's "Project Ordensnamen", describes Order names of the form [name+place] as the third most common pattern in the data set. Given such evidence, Order names containing place names are consistent with period practice. However, the Order name ''Order of the Silver Saddle of Trimaris'' is one step from period practice. By precedent, use of the descriptive term ''Silver'' in an Order name is one step from period practice.

|[Order name ''Order of the Silver Sea Urchin''] While we have no documentation that ''Silver'' would have been used as an adjective in an order name in period, it has been ruled SCA-compatible for use in order and award names in a position where ''Golden'' would be appropriate (see the ruling for ''Award of the Silver Osprey'' registered by Atlantia in the May 2003 LoAR).

|[Order name ''Award of the Silver Osprey''] No documentation was presented and none was found that ''Silver'' would have been used as an adjective in an order name in period. Meradudd Cethin's article "Project Ordensnamen OR What do you mean that the Anceint[sic] and Venerable Order of the Most Holy and Righteous Wombat's Toenail isn't period?" (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/order/) lists a number of order names that use a color as an adjective. However, ''Gold/Golden'' is the only metal listed as an adjective. Therefore, while these examples support the construction ''[color] [charge]'', including ''Golden'' as a color, they do not support the construction ''[any general metal] [charge]''.
At this time, there are 43 order and award names registered that include ''Silver'' as an adjective. At least one order or award name including ''Silver''as an adjective has been registered every year from 1981 to 2002 (inclusive) except for four years. Given this level of popularity, ''Silver'' is SCA-compatible for use in order and award names in any position where ''Golden'' is appropriate. [Atlantia, Kingdom of, 05/2003 LoAR, A-Outlands]
