[Moo] Hatchets and other synonyms

[J. Hughes]

One of my jobs as a Herald was to advise people on what could go wrong with their selected name. Just ask Count Cheapy Lingerie of Calontir how bad it can get.

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':
