It has this macabre attribute to it, and it's a pretty word in general. I like it a lot. But I'm a bit confused about the comments saying it sounds too 'weak' and that it should be more strong-sounding, which to me is stupid. Superhero names aren't about sounding 'invincible' or 'striking fear in the hearts of your enemies', it's just about being catchy. Robin's superhero name is literally a small bird, it's not supposed to be big or larger than life. The Flash, Iron Man, Spider-man, Black Canary, Rocket Raccoon, they're all names that aren't especially confident or foreboding in the slightest, but they're memorable, and that's all there is to it. It really depends on the intention of the superhero/vigilante you're talking about. Though I do admit there are names that are undeniably supposed to sound strong or scary, i.e. Daredevil, Ghost Rider, The Punisher, Conan the Barbarian, Blade, Beast, any of those, it really depends on what kind of character you want to name. Also, the name porcelain sounds really cool??? and scary??? it gives the image of a creepy possessed doll, or an elegant piece of dinnerware, I wouldn't be holed up in the idea of the literal translation. Even when superhero names don't fit the general theme of the superhero themselves, we still find a way to make it sound more important. Batman, Superman, Dr. Strange, Catwoman, they all sound dumb with no context, but the characters grew into it, and it doesn't stand out anymore. Anyway, I think it sounds awesome, keep it.
