The name Bain is quite likely to be Behan the midland accent is familiar to me but I dont have Behan relations.

Yesterday I discovered that my relatives from Galway, who spelled their name BAIN when they came to the US, really had it spelled BAANE when they were in Ireland. Not sure if this helps yuou, but you should check that spelling also.
