Name change is official. (x-post)

It's Official!

"Thorsteinn Raudskeggr.

Name change from Ivan Ivanovitch Serebrenikov.
Submitted as Thorsteinn Raudskeggr, the name was changed at kingdom to Thorsteinn raudskeggr. As the Cover Letter discusses, we have removed the requirement that descriptive bynames in Old Norse be capitalized. Thus we can restore this to the submitted form.

The submitter's previous name, Ivan Ivanovitch Serebrenikov, is retained as an alternate name."

Modified my profile to reflect this & made sure y'all could email me (forgot to click on that).

Congratulations!  8)

Makes me want to go another round with the SCA heralds.  Currently it's:

Rodney - 0
SCA Heralds - 5

Name #3 for me.

1st name was in 1983, then I got 'Ivan' in 1992, now Thorsteinn in 2012.

I picked a name that was provably period and, according to a friend, there are only 6 other Thorsteinn's in the SCA.

Some of my research was here: http://www.behindthename.com/
