<DIV>If the rules that Evan is applying here actaully work out (and Evan is one I really trust that is up on most of the rules) - - - then I myself really would go for the idea of the "Award of the Silver Hatchet". And it also matches the device. You got my vote on it.</DIV>

It's straight from the Rules <BR>> for Submissions, Section V.2 -- I am unaware of any precedent that <BR>> overrules the basic rule in this case. <BR>> <BR>> "a. Difference of D
escrip
tive Elements - A descriptive element is a word <BR>> other than a designator, an article, a preposition, or the name of a <BR>> branch of the Society." <BR>> <BR>> Here's the first important part: <BR>> <BR>> "Two descriptive elements are considered significantly different if they <BR>> differ significantly in both sound and appearance. Descriptive elements <BR>> that are not significantly different are said to be equivalent." <BR>> <BR>> And in the section immediately below that part, the middle paragraph is <BR>> the most important: <BR>> <BR>> "b. Conflict of Names with the Same Number of Elements - Two non-personal <BR>> names with the same number of descriptive elements conflict unless at <BR>> least one of the following conditions is met. <BR>> <BR>> " i. Change of Elements - Two such names do not conflict if each of <BR>> them contains a descriptive element significantly different from every <BR>> descriptive el
ement
in the other. <BR>> <BR>> " House Saint Mary , Saint Mary Herald , and the College of Sainte <BR>> Marie all conflict with one another because their descriptive elements are <BR>> equivalent; House , Herald , and College of , being designators, are not <BR>> descriptive elements. The House of the Red Dolphin does not conflict with <BR>> the House of the Blue Dolphin or the House of the Red Lion . The Order of <BR>> the White Scarf of Ansteorra conflicts with the Order of the White Scarf <BR>> of Atenveldt because Ansteorra and Atenveldt are not descriptive elements <BR>> as defined above in clause 2. a." <BR>> <BR>> Evan <BR>> _______________________________________________ <BR>> Moo mailing list <BR>> Moo@stierbach.org <BR>> http://stierbach.org/mailman/listinfo/moo </BLOCKQUOTE></body></html>
