It is a bit vague, and your mention of him being 'vain', like how his name sounds, kind of threw a few people off, I think. It might have been better to go with a blue them, to tie in the vein colour rather than the blood colour. Also...why is he being named after blood? Sure, it may sound cool, but his parents weren't that mean or silly, were they? That's be like calling your kid Hashtag in this day and age (oh, wait, some couple in China did that and were ordered by the courts to change it to something more normal sounding).

And...well, veins can be a range of greenish-blue to darker blue, to purple, depending on the vein itself. Varicose veins are purple, normal veins are a kind of brihgt blue, but some of the ones nearer to the surface of the skin (like the ones on your wrist) can appear aqua if your skin tone is right.
