Corwin, Corwyn, Corwynn
François la Flamme	2002.09	Registerability of the Name CorwynnAn item this month raised discussion regarding exactly which spellings of Corwin are considered SCA compatible. The name Corwin is SCA compatible in the spellings Corwin and Corwyn. The spelling Corwynn has only been registered twice, once in a name in 1975 and once as part of a holding name in 1999. As the spelling Corwynn does not have the same level of popularity as Corwin and Corwyn, we will discontinue registering the form Corwynn beginning with the April 2003 decision meeting. [09/02 Cover Letter]
François la Flamme	2002.09	This name has two weirdnesses. There is one weirdness for use of an element (in this case Corwyn) that is only SCA compatible. Corwyn is a variant of Corwin, which is an English surname that is SCA compatible as a given name. There is a second weirdness for combining English and Scots in a name (per the ruling for Katrina Rosehearty in the LoAR of September 2001). [Corwyn MacCamie, 09/2002 LoAR, R-Calontir]
François la Flamme	2001.11	Corwin was ruled SCA-compatible in the cover letter for the December 1985 LoAR. [Corwin of Saxony, 11/01, A-Ansteorra]
Elsbeth Anne Roth	1999.07	... the name already has a weirdness with the use of Corwynn, which is undocumented but SCA compatible, … [Corwynn the Lost, 07/99, R-Atenveldt]
Alisoun MacCoul of Elphane	1989.11.26	The standing precedent in the College (stated by Baldwin of Erebor, February, 1985) dictates that the name Corwin may not be used in conjunction with roses of any tincture. (LoAR 26 Nov 89, p. 35)
Baldwin of Erebor	1985.12.29	Corwin and Fiona... have been registered a dozen or more times over a span of five or more years, many of them recent. Corwin is a surname being used as a given name. Fiona is an out-of-period feminization of a period masculine given name. Both names occur in modern fantasy stories, and so tend to be accepted without question by the membership of the SCA; and neither has been explicitly barred by Laurel (although some restrictions have been placed on Corwin). [BoE, cvr ltr, 29 Dec 85, p.5]
Baldwin of Erebor	1985.04.14	There are some twenty Megans, Meghans, and Meggans already registered. As with Fiona and Corwin, I consider the name to be so much a part of SCA culture as to be acceptable, even if it is recent coinage. [BoE, 14 Apr 85, p.4]
Karina of the Far West	1978.11.20	If the name Corwin is used, do not use a unicorn. (KFW, 20 Nov 78 [23], p. 1)

Curstaidh
Da'ud ibn Auda (2nd tenure, 1st year)	1993.12a	[Returning Curstaidh.] While the submitter allowed minor changes to the name, and while Lord Palimpsest could document the form Kirsty ..., we felt that such a change exceeded the permissible "minor changes to grammar/spelling only". [12a/93, p.15]
