As *heraldic charges* that is true. But the rules are different for names. 
As "Hatchet" is very different both aurally and in spelling from "Axe", 
"Silver Hatchet" does not conflict with "Silver Axe".

We'd still need to document "Hatchet" as a period word, and someone else 
might have a "Silver Hatchet" award/order/company name, but it is clear of 
"Silver Axe", for what that's worth.
