O, silent R, thou comest back to haunt me!

This seems to be some particular SCA-misunderstanding. :)
In reality the 'r' ending in Old Norse is not silent at all
and the name Snæbjörn does not have an r-ending. If your
'herald' isn't okay with that tell him to talk to me ;)

You can search the archives for more on this; here's one example:

I'm glad if someone has made use of my name-list.

Kveðja,
Haukur
