Naming Conventions

• Main principles
• Name as close to original name as possible, language, geography and time period to be taken into consideration
• French names for French people (thus: Richard I 'Sans-Peur' de Normandie, not Richard I 'the Fearless' of Normandy)
• Titles usually go in the last name field
• Adjust first name field to avoid misunderstandings or mistaken identity where necessary, by adding order/number or byname.
• All names a person is known by in any source listed in “nicknames": bynames (especially in English), additional titles, variations.

Main Sources

The Foundation of Medieval Genealogy has an extensive overview, based solely on primary sources, which should be used as our first source:

• Dukes of Normandy
• Norman nobility

Notes

Problem areas and potential mix-ups

Some people have identical or very similar names and we must be careful not to confuse them in merges:

Arlette Herlève Havliva Herleva Harletta Harlette

There are two women using varations of these names:

• Arlette de Falaise
• Herlève de Rouen

Doda

• Doda de Falaise should not be confused with the Scottish Donada, daughter of Malcolm II MacKenneth. Doda de Falaise's parents were French.

EMMA

There are many Norman females of this name that should not be mixed up - study all connections before merging.

• Emma Capet
• Emma de Blois
• Emma de Normandie
• Emma de France, daughter of Robert I de France and Béatrice de Vermandois, she married Raoul de Bourgogne, they had one son who died an infant.
• Emma de Provence, daughter of Rotbold III de Provence and Ermengarda, she married William III de Toulouse, they had four children:

   * Pons, who succeeded to Toulouse
   * Bertrand, who succeeded Pons in Toulouse (1060) and his mother in Provence
