Question: What was the first registered name of the man who proposed the hypothetical relationship between Ireland and the British Commonwealth?
Context: The Irish state came into being in 1922 as the Irish Free State, a dominion of the British Commonwealth, having seceded from the United Kingdom under the Anglo-Irish Treaty.  It comprises 26 of the island of Ireland's 32 counties.  The 1937 constitution renamed the state "Ireland".  In 1949 it explicitly became a republic, definitively ending its tenuous membership of the British Commonwealth.  In 1973 it joined the European Communities. German registered nurses are now known as Gesundheits- und Krankenpfleger ("health- and sickness carer"), which is a registered name.  Before this the official name was "Krankenschwester" (female) and "Krankenpfleger" (male). The London Declaration was a declaration issued by the 1949 Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference on the issue of India's continued membership in the Commonwealth of Nations after its transition to a republican constitution.  It was made in London on 28 April 1949 and marked the birth of the modern Commonwealth.  The declaration had two main provisions: It allowed the Commonwealth to admit and retain members that were not Dominions, so including both republics and indigenous monarchies, and it changed the name of the organisation from the British Commonwealth to the "Commonwealth of Nations", reflecting the first change.  The Declaration recognised King George VI as Head of the Commonwealth.  Following his death, the Commonwealth leaders recognised Queen Elizabeth II in that capacity. A Warrant of Fitness (WoF) is an official New Zealand document certifying that a light motor vehicle has passed a compulsory periodic inspection of safety and roadworthiness.  Most vehicles with a gross mass under 3500 kg that are used on public roads are required to undergo a WoF test, with the frequency depending on the age of the vehicle.  Since 1 January 2014, vehicles first registered on or after 1 January 2000 must undergo a WoF test annually; older vehicles must undergo a WoF test every six months.  From 1 July 2014, vehicles first registered on or after 1 January 2000 must undergo a WoF test at first registration, at three years, and then annually after that; older vehicles must undergo a WoF test every six months. Éamon de Valera ( ; ] ; first registered as George de Valero; changed some time before 1901 to Edward de Valera; 14 October 1882 – 29 August 1975) was a prominent politician and statesman in 20th-century Ireland.  His political career spanned over half a century, from 1917 to 1973; he served several terms as head of government and head of state.  He also led the introduction of the Constitution of Ireland. Bohdan "Don" Domansky (born August 11, 1946 in Ulm, Germany) is a retired track and field athlete, who represented Canada at two Summer Olympics (1968 and 1976), two British Commonwealth Games (1966 and 1970) and two Pan Am Games in 1967 and 1975 in the 400 metres and the 4x400 metre relay.  He won medals at the British Commonwealth Games (silver 1966 4x400 metre relay, bronze in 1966 400 metres, medals at the Pan Am Games (silver in 1975 4x400 metre relay, bronze in 1967 400 metres) and achieved a 4th in the 4x400 metres in the Olympics in 1976.  As member of the UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) Don was a team NCAA champion, 4x400 metre NCAA champion and was a world record holder in the 440 yard relay in 1966.  He held the Canadian individual open record in the 400 metres from 1967 to 1977 and helped set the Canadian 4x400 metre record in 1976 which still stands today.  Track and Field News ranked him 4th in the world in the 400 metres in 1967.  His fastest performance was a 44.3 400 metre relay split in the 1966 British Commonwealth Games. The Battle of Pakchon (5 November 1950), also known as the Battle of Bochuan (), took place ten days after the start of the Chinese First Phase Offensive, following the entry of the People's Volunteer Army into the Korean War.  The offensive reversed the United Nations (UN) advance towards the Yalu River which had occurred after their intervention in the wake of the North Korean invasion of South Korea at the start of the war.  The battle was fought between British and Australian forces from the 27th British Commonwealth Brigade with American armour and artillery in support, and the Chinese 117th Division, around the village of Pakchon on the Taeryong River.  After capturing Chongju on 30 October the British and Australians had been ordered to pull back to Pakchon in an attempt to consolidate the western flank of the US Eighth Army.  Meanwhile, immediately following their success at Unsan against the Americans, the Chinese 117th Division of the 39th Army had attacked southward, intending to cut off the UN forces as they withdrew in the face of the unexpected Chinese assault.  To halt the Chinese advance, the 27th British Commonwealth Brigade was ordered to defend the lower crossings of the Taeryong and Chongchon rivers as part of a rearguard, in conjunction with the US 24th Infantry Division further upstream on the right. Ruth Martin-Jones (also known as Ruth Swinhoe and Ruth Howell, born 28 January 1947) is a former long jumper and heptathlete.  She competed for Great Britain at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, finishing 28th in the long jump event.  She was the first Welsh women to compete at the Olympic Games.  At the 1974 British Commonwealth Games in Christchurch, she won a bronze medal competing for Wales.  Her jump was equal to silver medalist Brenda Eisler, but Eisler had a better second jump.  She also competed at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, and the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton.  In 1978, Martin-Jones won the first heptathlon event in the world at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham. External association was a hypothetical relationship between Ireland and the British Commonwealth proposed by Éamon de Valera in 1921–22, whereby Ireland would be a sovereign state associated with, but not a member of, the Commonwealth; the British monarch would be head of the association, but not head of state of Ireland.  De Valera proposed external association as a compromise between isolationist Irish republicanism on the one hand and Dominion status on the other.  Whereas a full republic could not be a member of the Commonwealth until the London Declaration of 1949, a Dominion could not be fully independent until the Statute of Westminster 1931. The 1974 British Commonwealth Games were held in Christchurch, New Zealand from 24 January to 2 February 1974.  The bid vote was held in Edinburgh at the 1970 British Commonwealth Games.  The Games were officially named "the friendly games".  There were 1,276 competitors and 372 officials, according to the official history, and public attendance was excellent.  The main venue was the QEII Park, purpose built for this event.  The Athletics Stadium and fully covered Olympic standard pool, diving tank, and practice pools were all on the one site.  The theme song was "Join Together", sung by Steve Allen.  QEII Park was severely damaged beyond repair by the devastating earthquake that destroyed parts of the city on 22 February 2011.  The Games were held after the 1974 Commonwealth Paraplegic Games in Dunedin for wheelchair athletes.
