Knightmare: mare is a female horse; nightmare because Grimm are pretty much demons, nightmares; knight because it has a heavy bone armor. I see no confusion.

You took that from DnD? Huh. Okay.

Nightmare just sounds pretty meh. It's a bad dream/horse pun. A knightmare combines three words. It sounds more original and cooler to me.

Also Knightmare is an Australian heavy metal band. I wrote that last sentence for no reason in perticular.
