The silent "r" was added after checking the name
through several SCAdian heralds and discovering it was
another way to spell it. I would like to send my
thanks and the thanks of half of the newbies in the
Shire of Coppertree along to you though. Most of us
have names that we found on your list! It has proven
most helpful in naming new Vikings for our Shire. And
I actually have a copy of your list copied as a word
file so that I can access it when needed. Thank you
very much for that list once more.
