You do not think there would be comments about the Vined Barbie?

Award of the Vined Barbe could be spiffy.  It works equally well in reverse, too - Award of the Barbed Vine.

I may be late to the party on this, but "hatchet" is actually A Real Period Word.  You can find some spellings of it in context at http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/m/mec/med-idx?type=id&id=MED19757&egs=all&egdisplay=open





But if we're going for a medieval English word for an axe, my vote's for the more obscure 'wifle':
