These are the only ones I know:

Crown of Twelve Stars
From the book of Revelation

Our Lady Of Walsingham please intercede that England may once again be Our Lady’s Dowry

Dormition, is I think the way the Orthodox refer to Our Lady’s Assumption.

Garden Enclosed is a title for Mary from the Song Of Songs
