|No documentation was presented and none was found that ''Rest'' is a plausible toponymic element in a period English placename. The LoI stated that "[a] rest is a stopping place, or a lodging place, as for travelers or pilgrims, according to the Compact Oxford English Dictionary". Ferrule noted that the COED (p. 544) dates this use of ''rest'' to 1225. However, evidence that a word existed in English in period is not documentation that it is a plausible element in an English placename. As no member of the College could find any evidence that ''Rest'' was used as a toponymic in an English placename, it is not registerable in that use.
''Rest'' has only been registered as a toponymic element a total of seventeen times (not including holding names based on a registered branch name). The most recent registration was of ''Household Stone's Rest'' (registered October 1998). The next most recent registration was in 1992. Therefore, the element ''Rest'' does not have the same level of popularity as elements that have been ruled SCA-compatible as toponymics in placenames, including ''Keep''. Lacking such continuous popularity, this element is not SCA compatible.
There are two differences between the elements ''Keep'' and ''-crest'', which are SCA compatible, and ''Rest'', which is not. As discussed in the November 2001 LoAR (s.n. ''Tristan Ravencrest''), there are examples of period bynames that use forms of ''keep'' and ''crest'', including ''Rogerus del Crest'' which Bardsley (p. 216 s.n. Crest) dates to 1379, and ''Thomas ate Kepe'' which Reaney & Wilson (p. 261 s.n. Keep) date to 1327. No bynames of this form have been found using a form of ''rest''. Also, ''Keep'' and ''-crest'' have been more popular in recent years than ''Rest''. It is these two main factors which grant ''Keep'' and ''-crest'' the benefit of the doubt and make them SCA compatible, where ''Rest'' is not. [Hawk's Rest, Shire of, 04/2002, R-Atenveldt]

|No one was able to find documentation that ''-rest'' was used as an element in place names. [''see LoAR for complete discussion of hypothetical use of "rest"''] ['''Dragon's Rest, Shire of''', [http://sca.org/heraldry/loar/1999/08/lar.html 08/99], R-Artemisia]
