The definition reads:

a substitute, esp. a person deputizing for another in a specific role or 
office: she was regarded as thesurrogate for the governor during his final 
illness.
• (in the Christian Church) a bishop's deputy who grants marriage licenses.
• a judge in charge of probate, inheritance, and guardianship.
ORIGIN early 17th cent.: from Latin surrogatus, past participle of surrogare 
‘elect as a substitute,’ from super- ‘over’ + rogare ‘ask.’

Surrogate suggests both overriding and substitution.  Here, we substitute one 
stencil's skyline for another stencil's.

However, I am definitely not wed to the name surrogate.  If people like 
override better I can do that.
