Heraldic fun. NOT.
Apr. 5th, 2004 06:19 amWell. At least they didn't return it. Suffice to say, however, that I'm not particularly happy with the result.
From the December 2003 LoAR:
"Margeria de Jauncourt. Name.
Submitted as Marguerie de Jauncourt, the submitter requested authenticity for 12th C France and allowed minor changes. Dauzat's dictionnaire des noms et prénoms de France (p. 416 s.n. Marguerite), dates Margeria to 12th C in Burgundy. We have changed the given name to this form in order to meet the submitter's request for authenticity."
Argh. My persona isn't from Burgundy. And the selfsame reference (same page, even...) cited also lists "Marguerie." Not being from Burgundy does, in the 12th century, make an enormous difference. It was a different country then. She's actually from someplace nearer the Flemish border, if they had read the entry for the locative surname!
Anyone have any idea how I can appeal this? If such a process exists?
Sigh... Maybe it's that it looks SO much like "margarine de jauncourt" now.
