That’s not the only reason I think it’s a good name.
It’s a word that can’t be found in any of the various dictionaries—all the others can. And it has multiple meanings.
Names have a way of making it so that no one really knows what they’re derived from.
If I were to tell a story based on all this, I’d explain it as follows.
Someone once wrote that curses were written on little slips of paper and then burned.
In the text, there’s a candle (“cere”), we have “burn” (“vbren/v’brenn”), and we have words ending in “x” (curse).
And we have a warning.
Now everyone can make their own sense of it.
