The way I heard it, when you enter Society you are entitled (if
that's the right word) to having <your mundane first name> + "of"
+ <the name of your local branch> as your name.

BTW, my brother, mka Robert Hopkins, the younger of two Roberts
living in the Shire of Eisental (mka Allentown, PA) in AS XXI
(mka 1986), documented and registered the name "Young Robert of
Eisental".
