"Orkneyskaia" combines two languages into one name phrase (indeed, into one word) as is therefore not registrable (as I understand it). > The client in question is the daughter of a Varangian (Norse) man and a > Russian woman from Kiev, an historically plausible persona, given the > rule of the Norse over Rus in her chosen period.

That is, no matter how tricky &/or well written as excuse may be, the CoA will only register *likely*, *common* language mixes. ;-) ~~Basil Dragonstrike Peritia zmaragdus est; sapientia adam?s est.

And the Varangians in Russia were well documented during that time period, which was a few centuries long, so to me, this is more than a persona story, but a plausible explanation as to why this might have worked (like the Black Irish). There was even a Russian princess during that time, with a Norse name (Rogned). My client happens to like that name, so now we are going in a different direction, and going with Rogned Orkneyski, if I can find other documentation of Rogned as a feminine Norse name. I haven't looked far yet, so there's still hope! Thanks, Basil.

I think it's worth a try, and if it doesn't work, I'll advise her to do a default drakkar, and resubmit. Thank you, Basil, I appreciate your input, and will let her know that a return on the basis of identifiability is possible. Dori
