        I totally read that as "Serious Bans" - srs bzns

        Serious business makes more sense, though.

            Well, as for the Celts and Vikings, both traditions are similar in this way, swords were named after the battles they were used or even the personality they transmitted to the bearer...

                  I don't have a sword, but I named my steak knife "Flesh ripper;" does that count?

                    Thorson, you are right if you count with mythology. However, I was just naming swords of warriors, common people, not related to mythology.

                      Both happened... As I said, Beowulf's sword was called "Nailer" (granted, while there is reason to believe that Beowulf is based on an actual historical person, there is no doubt that the story has been mythologized). Magnus III of Norway named his sword "Legbiter." That said... I have found instances of naming schemes that fit your description.

                      Often, however, based on inscriptions that have been found on weapons in archaeological digs, often, it was much more mundane: "Bjorn's sword," "pointy," "Erik's blade," etc.
