FYI:

"Dan" -- variant on Old French "Danjier"; related to Latin "Dominus" -- all meaning "ruler," the big boss, the guy who will chop your head off etc. Compare also the Italian "Dom" or "Don" as in "Don Vito Corleone." These are all related terms etymologically.

Also note, "Dan" and "Danjier" = root of our word "danger." The guy who chops your head off is a dangerous dude. He will "dominate" you, and subject you to his "dominion."

tl;dr -- the reason for "Dain" is already just a word play that anyone who knows etymology of English would recognize right away. Not that the Colin Dain stuff is wrong, but the choice of "Dain" is pretty obvious. (PS: Tolkein was a classics specialist, and utilized lots of etymological word games.)

de verbis domini dominetur!
