Please forward this to your groups or at least to your group's web person/team.

The new Society Webminister's Handbook is now available online at <http://www.sca.org/officers/webminister/WebministerHandbook.pdf>. For the people who are maintaining websites for your group, please familiarize yourselves with it. All policies outlined in the Handbook are currently in effect.

In the coming weeks, I hope to have a Middle Kingdom specific Webminister's Handbook. It will outline web policies that are specific to our Kingdom.

Your servant,

Lady Finnseach de Locheil
Middle Kingdom WebMinister

Devora does show up in Italy. (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/yehoshua/rome_names.html) its listed as "Deborah" but the original would have been in Hebrew. That is Rome in 1550 or so. I don't see Devora or similar listed in any of the Egypt articles (as close as I can get to Yemen. 

As for #3, don't bother its not a real common pattern in names. In fact most Jewish women in period did not have Hebrew names. 

If you know of any good sources for Yemen or Persia let us know, because I would love to find some.

Since Aryanwhy merch Catmael has stepped up to Pelican Sovereign in charge of name registry, there is no longer any such thing as "SCA compatible names." That is, just because something's in the Bible doesn't mean it will be allowed as a registerable name.

I've chosen a given name (still working on a byname), D'vorah. I'm not sure where to look for documentation of use in period. Can anyone help me? The suggestions I've gotten so far:

1. Document the name to my time and place if possible.
I haven't chosen for sure whether to hail from Yemen or Persia, but I'm looking at the 13th century as my time period.

2. Document the name to other places in period, to show that D'vorah and its variations (Deborah, and the like) were widespread enough and well-known enough to be used in other parts of the known world at the time.

3. Document a naming pattern. D'vorah means 'honeybee' which is an animal name, which is common. Also, D'vorah was a famous general and prophet, and a woman who exemplified pretty much every quality that is prized in a Jewish woman, and therefore would have been considered an auspicious name for a daughter. If I go this route, I'll have to demonstrate either animal-names in common use in 13th century Persia or Yemen, or 'personal quality' names in 13th century Persia or Yemen.

4. Talk to Juetta Chopin, who's a name herald in Israel. Juetta, are you here? I'd really like a consulting herald who's up on Jewish names.

Hi Noam, yes this shire was founded in part by an Ex Fenmeri (me). Welcome to our shire, we are somewhat inactive for now but 
may start to get things moving again soon.

Peace unto you,

I hope and pray that this epistle reaches you in good health and uplifted spirits.

By way of introduction: I am Na'im ibn Barak ibn Musa haKohen as-Sioni (mka Noam Sienna or No'am Tsiona). I hail from the borough of Fenmere, in the barony of Carolingia, in the Kingdom of the East (mka Brandeis University in Boston). Legend has it that a Fenmerian was the first to bring the Society to these holy shores and if it is so then I salute you!

I have arrived in the Holy City to study and I wish to respectfully inquire as to your activities - is this Shire still active? I pray that it is so, for I wish very much to join you (accompanied by some friends as well).

I eagerly await your response.

Yours in service,
Noam
