This was the session I was presiding over, so -- again -- no live-blogging. The theme of the session ended up emerging as diminutives ... purely by coincidence. Afterwards, the presenters and I hung out a long time onomastics-geeking and decided we needed to put together another similar session for next year.

The Naming of Heralds as a Reflection of Late Medieval Noble Identities -- Julia Smith, Eastern Washington Univ.

A presentation of this data for the most part.

The Social Use of Names in Fourteenth-Century Avignon: Naming Practices and Strategies of Identification in Terriers -- Whitney A. M. Leeson, Roanoke College

A study of given name frequencies, origins, and trends in three different sets of documents from the same location and of the same type.

Given Names in Early Fourteenth-Century Imola -- Sara Uckelman, Institute for Logic, Language, and Computation, Univ. van Amsterdam

A presentation and analysis of this data.

What's in a Pet Name? Diminutive Forms of First Names in Late Medieval France and Their Social Context -- Geneviève Ribordy, Champlain St. Lawrence College

A study of the construction, distribution, and social status of diminutives and whether we have clues to how they were deliberately chosen and used for various purposes.
