House of Names
Two years ago- after realizing that our lineage/bloodline are from Spain and with noble blood, I decided to look more info about the Navarrete Coat of Arms. I was awe then to see this site: House of Names and i printed what their site says about the Navarrete history- not aware at that time that the information posted on their site was wrong. That Navarrete is a variant to the surname "Navarro" or was it? -Confused, I decided to dig in more, an idea sprung in my thought 'try searching using Español' -i cant possible found the right info regarding Navarrete if i kept searching through English. So i did! i search slowly in spanish- different word combination- Google is my best friend! After a days of going through different sites i meet the mother of all Spanish Coat of Arms. Yeah..this time its a legitimate site with a very good background-its records where from Heraldica Official. So then i confirmed that the House of Names post are wrong, i went to my Yahoo- and sent them a message of disgust-

| Comments or Suggestions: | I would like to correct the information your website posted. I'm from a noble lineage of Navarrete, and we had our very own Blazon! I will not tolerate such ignominious subject, regarding the Navarrete Arms. I am well aware of the Navarro Arms, which your responsible persons speculated that Navarrete was one of its surname- spelling variations. My Honorable ancestors were in disgrace! I am totally disgusted. People were expecting a lot from website like yours, so ever that your agents weren't accurate then you shouldn't have posted. My sole intention is to correct this issue. I don't want to spell the right word, for you to attend to this matter. I'd rather appreciate if you could provide the correct info regarding Navarrete. Again, my sole intention is to correct this issue. Please attend to this issue with sympathy and pride. I still believe your website can bring the best. Steven Oliveros Navarrete |

I was like, lol after that- well it took them 4 days to get the right info. I was really relieve that the House of Names did their best- but it didn't end there- after they replied its done- i sent another email-the page of Navarro isn't changed at all- Navarrete is still its spelling variations-but they are quick to adjust the Navarro.
I'm really glad, no- I'm thankful that this single act of appeal or you may call it violent reaction, did changed a lot- now other websites selling and advertising the Navarrete Coat of Arms followed the House of Names.
