Help[Facts] Re: Nix on Seth for the SCA
in reply to a message by Nanaea
We are not limiting orseles to the Angleied for (Seth) But een using the ore phonetially aurate (to the Heb) Shet or Shait etc., we
need a reference of usage during the period. A Jewish use would be fine but we haven't found one.

Well, then I would say just go ahead and use the Jewish form of the name, because that certainly would have been in use (at least in the Jewish community) back in the period covered by the SCA.
The closest (to the SCA period) reference to an actual Seth that I could find for you was the 17th century Bishop of Exeter, Seth Ward, who was born in 1617.
