Help Name My Weapon

Rechan

I just got this sweet item in a game I'm playing in:

Songbow of Vanishment +2
Weapon: Superior Crossbow
Enhancement: +2 attack rolls and damage rolls
Critical: +1d6 damage per plus
Property: Bards can use this weapon as an implement for bard powers
and bard paragon path powers.
Power (Daily * Illusion): Free. Trigger: You hit an enemy with a bard
power using this weapon. Effect: You’re invisible to that enemy until
the end of your next turn.

I doubt that I can find out the item's original name. Sparsely populated world, found in a rathole of an armory.

Now, normally my character would just call it "Face-Shooter" and be done with it. But, I want to give it a wicked name. And a name appropriate for my character.

To give you an idea of my character. His name's Devil's Due - a tiefling bard who uses a crossbow. I interpret his Bard powers as not being music related*, but Personality related - dirty looks, glowers, inspiration, and well-aimed shots. His "motivation" is that he has a list of Men Who Need Killin' - rapists, slavers, and other people who harm the innocent and defenseless who deserve to be tracked down and made dead. (The DM described the setting as Firefly like in tone, so I said "I'll play a cowboy" but went with something like Clint Eastwood in "Unforgiven").

*With the exception that on my turn, there's the song from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" playing in the background.

Devil's Due, polishing then loading crossbow: "I call it...The Death Harp."

Victor Timothy, eating annoyingly crunchy apple: "Why do you call it the Death Harp?"

*turnaimshootTUUNNNNNGGGGGUUNNNGGGunngguunngg*

<apple is stapled to oak>

Devil's Due, returning to cleaning crossbow: "That, my dear Vic Tim, was a chimingly perfect E above Middle C."

Victor Timothy, looking at slight nick in middle finger tip: "yeep"

("Deathsong" would also work.)
