Unusual charge is unique to Polish heraldry. Documentation for charge:

Example of charge found in An Armorial of Knights of the Golden Fleece and 15^th Century Europe, by R. Pinches &A. Wood, London, 1971 online at http://www.szlachta.org/baj1_22.htm  

specifically, the oldest form of the arms of the Silesian Wierzbno clan and arms of the Kosciesza clan.

If device change is passed client would like her prior device (Or, on a chevron dovetailed counter-dovetailed between three roundels azure three trident heads Or. reg’d 12/95) changed to a badge.

[Esct. Comment: Yes this is mine. I don’t believe this charge has been registered before hence the documentation. It makes a really nifty maker’s mark J]

[Bardáin]~Donnchadh O Corráin, Fidelma Maguire-Irish Names-2^nd Ed.,1997 p.29 s.n. [Barddán, Barddéne: Bardán]

[inghen ui]~ “daughter of”

The “daughter of” is most important to the client. She does not wish to be “Deirdre the Bard” but “Deirdre daughter of the Bard”. As she only cares about the meaning, she will accept any spelling variant of [Bardáin].
