23. As noted in Number 24, acceptance of all names is subject to review by the Registration Committee.
The Committee wishes to clarify that there has been a proliferation of the use of specific garden related
prefixes, such as "Siloam," attached to existing cultivar names; repetition of the one word in a one word
cultivar name to create as new name , i.e. 'Cutie Cutie'; and, the use of possessives in front of existing
cultivar names (see also 10H above)
Such usage will be reviewed carefully and rejections may occur
where the use appears related only to the marketability of the name, or convenience, rather than the
relationship to a specific reason for the reuse of the base name. Thus, simply placing a prefix garden
name, or a possessive noun, in front of an existing cultivar name will no longer be accepted on its face
value. Rather, an analysis will be done to ascertain that there is a purpose other than using a name that has garnered favor. Use of previously registered names is strongly discouraged. Registrants are
encouraged to submit original names.
This to me says the names will be reviewed and in some cases the names with prefixes and suffixes will be approved and in other cases they will not and seems to state that there will be a tightening of the rules and a lot of the types of names that have been permitted in the past might not be approved in the future.
