I see no benefit on continuing this argument... But I must say in my
mind Daemon and Assassin, Hellfiend or Demigod are *way* different.
Daemon is a greek word for "good or malevolent supernatural beings
between mortals and gods, such as inferior divinities and ghosts of
dead heroes" (wiki). If I read Daemon, I don't think demon, I think
greek mythology... I wouldn't ban someone named Juno or Hera or Eros
or Chronos or Naiad or Aegle, or maybe even Hades, Zeus...

But that would be me. As long as the name doesn't spoil the fun of the
other players, you can just RP around it, it is perfectly possible
that you question someone for being called Daemon, and perhaps you can
IC ban him if you don't like demons and thinks that the character has
something to do with them... By my turn, I would never use it anyway.
