I sent an email to elca.org/archives about names the ELCA considered in the mid 1980s and the fact the Eielsen formal name was ELCA got this response Smith03 23:31, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
The Eielsen Synod never was an officially incorporated body recognized by either the states of Minnesota or Wisconsin, so legally there was no conflict. The Eielsen Synod also had never changed their constitution from the original 1846 one, so the name given there was in Norwegian, while the commonly used English-translation had quote marks around "Evangelical Lutheran Church" indicating that the "in America" was just a modifier and not part of the official name of the church body.
