Well if you should ever change your mind and name one of your swords may I suggest the latin name of:
Malleorum hircus

My apologies Sir Wolf! According to Google translator it means 'Hammer Goat' but I do not know how to properly structure Latin sentences and I meant it to basically mean...'Hammer of the Goat' which I think should have been either Hircus Malleorum or perhaps Capra Malleus. - Either way it was an inside joke referencing our numerous allusions to you once considering a goat crest way back when you were developing your CoA. - Discourtesy to you was not my intent. :-[

Ah! I had "mallorum", which I thought would mean bad/evil (mal in latin being the root for english words like malevolent and malfunction) and confirmed http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/morph?l=malorum&la=la
Malleorum does indeed mean hammer! My apologies! :-[
Lord Dane:
