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.

In fact...
Diane Alexis Whipple (January 21, 1968 – January 26, 2001) was a lacrosse player and coach, who is best known as the fatal victim of a dog attack in San Francisco in January 2001. The dogs involved were two Presa Canario/mastiff mixes named Bane (male) and Hera (female), owned by neighbors living in the same apartment building. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Whipple]
So, yeah. Bane.

OH yes! I recall
... that must be why I thought of it. Gods, how that case raised my hackles. No pun intended. Those dog owners were flipping barbarian idiots. I say unapologetically. I'm glad they got convicted of murder, because it was.

Sure, glad someone likes it =D
I was thinking maybe I'll keep Sorrowbane. It seems like it could actually be in the right spirit for the name of a child.
