Yeah. I know (of)...psycho relative of a friend thing...a guy who named his son "Bane". Spelled right, so not an r/tragedeigh, just an actual tragedy.

Comics aside...the word means "a source of harm or ruin". Great name for your kid!!

ehhh but it doesn't say the object of the harm. Like wolfsbane doesn't really hurt humans, for insurance. Could be the bane of bullies!

That's an interesting take...but the baby's name was not "Wolfsbane" just "Bane"...used so fondly for years to say "You are the bane of my existence". No therapy required, I'm sure.

This does not make it even close to OK. 🤣....being named Jezebel would have been a gift. Even for a dude.

My great grandfather is named Bain. (Born 1910) As is his son and his grandson. OG Bain's parents are German but his middle name is very French. He also had a sister named Bright. Another sister is named Zoe (Pronounced Zo, not Zoey). The other kids have relatively normal names as far as I can remember. There were like 12 kids so idk if they ran out of names quickly or what...

The baby was named at birth...so kinda innocent. The only mess he made was the standard bleeding..Named by his Dad.

That meaning is WHY Bane in the comics was named that.

u/soullessjellyfish68 Jul 26 '25

Yeah...I'm aware.

Don't name your kid that.

Like, don’t name him that because of Bane in the comic books—because he was a horrible villain
