So for the longest time MrsScunny has joked about having a family crest. She's due to give birth to our twins in the next few days and I thought I'd look into getting one drawn up by someone with much more of artistic flair than me as a bit of a joke gift. But I'm not sure where to look? There are a few sites offering 'crest generators' but they don't really provide what I'm after.

The official place to start is here - http://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/

However, if you don't already have one that can be traced back to beyond the Domesday Book, I'm afraid to say that everyone else will think you something of an arriviste.

Chill out gobuchul,

Apologies to the OP, I didn't notice the joke in your post!

I thought you were serious! 😳

In any case get something like this:

Somewhere pre 16th century perhaps?

Once you've finalised the design, make sure you get emblazoned onto some polo shirts (adults and children's sizes). You'll look a really impressive family unit on days out.

Most surnames have a crest. There is a website somewhere out there I remember seeing.

There are websites where you can put in your name and you get back some ridiculous crest along with an invitation to shell out a ton of cash but these are for Americans and deluded Brits. The heritage industry is massive and the profits extravagant.

Good luck with arriving with a new one. Some of us are already catered for, however... 😉

Get yourself a nice tartan throw for the back seat of the car.
