If that’s what you are going for the name’s fine since it links to his eyes…formerly. Sides, as far as name goes calling a kid Vayne is a better name than calling a white haired girl white in another language or a blond fellow yellow in another language. So yeah If those got a pass I think yours should as well. I don't have a problem with the colour associations...I have a problem with thinking of his parents actually looking at him as a new-born (or whenever they actually get named, in the case of societies where a child is only named after a certain amount of time, and therefore less likely to die for some reason, ie Victorian England) and thinking, "Oh, Blood (or Life's Blood, as you said, Clarus). Let's call him vein. We'll spell it V-A-Y-N-E so it's not as obvious we're naming him after blood though." I mean, yeah, it fits CNR and it's a viable name, but just the thought process that would have had to go through his parents heads when he was born is what gets me.

It just...I know parents in Remnant are apparently unimaginative (calling a white haired girl 'White' and a blonde boy 'Yellow', as Vedran said), but I just can't think of any strange people who would name their kids after blood. But then, there are some strange people in the world.

But sure, call him Vayne, it works really (as Vedran said, he has physical features that fit the name somewhat), I'd just like to see a bit of trivia in the bottom saying that sometimes people question why his parents named him after blood. But that's just me.
