Help[Opinions] Re: Bane
in reply to a message by Calcifer
I think it could work only if it were short for a longer, quasi-medieval or quasi-Puritan name which indicated 'of what he is the bane.'
For example, there's a plant called Fleabane, which presumably can be made into a poison against fleas.
So Bane could be short for Fearbane, or Vicebane, or Serpentbane, or Doombane, or Griefbane or Dolorbane or Sorrowbane, or somesuch.
Crazy, artificial and weird? Yeah ... but at least it's not sad or repugnant!
Otherwise, Bane makes a great name for a guard dog.
