So I went to <a href="http://oanda.sca.org/oanda_np.cgi">http://oanda.sca.org/oanda_np.cgi </a>to conflict check my name.<br><br>First things first: I decided to check both names in their full forms before looking at alternate spellings, parts of the names, etc. <br>
<br>So I entered "Wulfstan" under the broad, case-insensitive search. I left the number of results to display at 25 (to keep the page size reasonable to look at) and got 30 hits. (As an aside, a narrow search returned 29 results). So I reset the display to 35 and tried again. A few had Wulfstan as a given name but all with quite different surnames, and some had it as a surname.<br>
<br>A similar search for "Hrafnsson" returned only 10 results, all with very different given names.<br><br>Searching for "Hrafn" returned 93 results, so I widened the display to show 95 results. Nothing that appears to conflict.<br>
<br>Looking at the hints page on the search form, I decided to try allowing alternate vowels. So "W.lfst.n" got a try. 43 hits. No obvious conflict.<br><br>For the patronymic, I tried ".r..nss.n" - the H is optional, the vowels could be different, and there could be an F or a V. 42 hits this time. This returned hits of "Hrafnssen", which I expected, and "Normansson", which I didn't, as well as some other weirder ones. No conflict that I could see, so I took out an S to check again. Only 13 hits for that, none even close.<br>
<br>Either the name is clear or I've missed something. I'm hoping for the former, personally.<br><br><br>
