Why do swords need names? How about you get off its back and let it be what it is without all that anthropomorphizing.

Such sword would look good in exposition, but it wouldn't be very practical in swordfight.
The long grip it has would suggests it's a greatsword, but the short blade doesn't. Two-handed swords (especially Greatswords, Bihanders and Scottish Claymores) were developed to deal large amount of damage, while their long blade also served a good purpose of keeping the opponent at a longer distance. Another good advantage of greatswords was that they could have been used to toss cavalry down from their horses. What more, that sword seems to have too thin grip for convenient handling. The pommel spike would easily hurt the wielder by accident. More weight should be put to blade's side so it can deal more damage and cut through armor if you perform a swing attack.
Well it would be a nice piece for ceremonial purposes, but I wonder what kind of experienced medieval soldier would take this into battle.
I'd call it "Ceremonial Sword of Undecisive Mercenary".
