It is not a horrid name, nor an ugly blade, and it certainly fits her as an Atavian and such, but I can't imagine getting a band for it. Conflicted.
Could just band it until you decide you want something more fitting to your character. They can be removed and put on another sword pretty easily.
(D.M.A.): Cooper says, "Kyrra is either the most innocent person in the world, or the girl who uses the most innuendo seemingly unintentionally but really on purpose."
Oh shit. They told us we'd go thousands and thousands of blades before we started seeing names recycle. Either Someone was embellishing, or we've had some seriously picky BMs searching for the name they want.
-- Grounded in but one perspective, what we perceive is an exaggeration of the truth.
Could just be chance: the new one is Abominations, rather than Abomination. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a list of first words, a list of second words, and the combination is checked against all previous blade names (and a new one generated if necessary) - it just happens that both Abomination and Abominations are on the second list.
Alloy composition: golden alloy of the finest steel and iron

This sword is a keeper. Forever. Oh. My. God.
(D.M.A.): Cooper says, "Kyrra is either the most innocent person in the world, or the girl who uses the most innuendo seemingly unintentionally but really on purpose."

Blade Curve: a slight curve
Groove formation: runed groove
Tang: thick
Grip material: blue sharkskin
Grip pattern: an intricate double diamond pattern

So I've just been kind of having fun trying out blade names while I've been saving up for Magi. Except now, I kind of want to spend credits just to keep this blade for RP reasons. Exempting perhaps pewter (which I'm sure I could find an interesting reason for if I try), everything else really fits in very well.

Murad polishes the steel with a fine cloth, inspecting the blade for any imperfections. Finding none, he turns and reverently presents the sword to Bokuden with both hands. Murad exclaims, "I give you Waking Eyes!"
You look over at Waking Eyes being worn by Bokuden and see: Forged from a flame-touched alloy of the finest steel and gold, this blade exhibits a soft curve along its length, accentuated by a double groove carved into the metal. The narrow tang is encased by a grip of burgundy sharkskin in an intricate diamond pattern. Rounding off the grip is a pyramidal pommel fashioned from bone, affording perfect balance to this masterfully crafted weapon.
Bokuden frowns at Waking Eyes.
Bokuden says to Kavaya, "Can I have a different sword?"
<tell him about humgiis and where to find one>
Bokuden says, "I will go there and put this foul sword to rest."
----- <Bokuden asks random Blademasters on CLASSWHO for help getting more ashes> -----
Bokuden says, "I am trying to talk to someone named @Atalkezright now. He is not very talkative though."
The earth trembles under foot as the Elder Dragon Atalkez enters from the east.
You say in a glacial, winter-evoking voice, "Speak of the devil."
Madelyne's eyes sparkle with amusement.
Atalkez digs his hand into the soil, gathering a handful of dark ash.
Lady Madelyne Jinx, Literary Vigilante says, "Figuratively speaking."
Bokuden gets some gold sovereigns from a canvas backpack.
Atalkez gives a handful of black ash to Bokuden.
Atalkez waves his hand dismissively.
Ravager Elite Atalkez Al'Jafri, Blade of Antagony says in a silky, smooth tenor voice, "Keep your gold."
Atalkez grasps the hilt of Waking Echo with a vengeful expression.
Ravager Elite Atalkez Al'Jafri, Blade of Antagony says in a silky, smooth tenor voice, "I ask a boon."
Ravager Elite Atalkez Al'Jafri, Blade of Antagony says in a silky, smooth tenor voice, "In return for yours."
Ravager Elite Atalkez Al'Jafri, Blade of Antagony says in a silky, smooth tenor voice, "Let me know the name you settle on."
----- <5 min later> -----
Bokuden requests a specially forged blade from Murad. Circling slowly around him, the blacksmith takes a few measurements and jots down some notes before assembling his tools.
Bokuden says, "This is pretty exciting."
Murad exclaims, "I give you Patient Echoes!"
You look over at Patient Echoes being worn by Bokuden and see: Forged from a blued alloy of the finest steel and bronze, this blade exhibits a sharp curve along its length, accentuated by a deep groove carved into the metal. The thick tang is encased by a grip of burgundy cotton in an intricate cross-hatch pattern. Rounding off the grip is a pyramidal pommel fashioned from onyx, affording perfect balance to this masterfully crafted weapon.
Bokuden blinks incredulously at Patient Echoes.
----- The final verdict? -----
Bokuden says, "I guess it will do for now."
The coincidence is not lost on me that Atalkez has Waking Echo, and Bokuden has now gone through a "Waking" sword, and an "Echoes" sword.
@Watchman already forged the sword that would've 100% locked me into blademaster as a class, so I've taken to playing with blade names for funsies. Today's: Name of blade: Unseen Rapture
It is sort of amusing, I suppose, how I ended up with the sword @Taraus is referring to. Since picking up Blademaster I have been trying every damn day to get one that was not just reasonable but -right-, and although I have had a few that got a little close, overwhelmingly they were bad (hello Baleful Bass). Taraus grabbed Blademaster to provide me with extra ashes to speed the process up. As the (daily) ritual went - I gathered all the materials and returned to Murad. I don't even remember what he gave me but it was not remotely good, and so it was humgii'd. Bowing to Kavaya a second time, I was given the list of what I needed - if I recall correctly it was cinnabar, a lump of gold and ashes. Cinnabar can be a real pain, and after a little while that we both spent hunting for the piece of it, Taraus came across a piece. Then the blacksmith checking began in earnest - and again, she found the lump of gold. She then went and gathered the ashes and brought all the pieces back to me. This was the -only- time in twenty or thirty attempts I had made that she gathered -every- piece. Murad worked away, and then provided me with:
Name of blade: Eternal Vagabond.

Maybe I should stop letting @Taraus touch all the ingredients before giving them to Murad.
