and of course Darth Maul means "in mall" because he was designed for merchandising

Or Darth Cest
Darth inmaul and Darth intyrannus
And my favourite: Darth Continence
It would be "Darth Cest" surely?
inmaul
intyranus
inplagueis
inbane
You know, I think this comic might not be 100% accurate on naming conventions...
Darth Cel
Oh wouldn't you want to be InKyloRen
The youngest sith, who works for cheap: Darth Tern
Darth Mate: I born in Autralian prison.
Rebel: where the fuck is Autralia
I'm gonna be that guy and point out that Vader means father in dutch. His name was always a spoiler. I'm trying to think of how you would inMaul someone but all I can think is 'I'm gonna inmaul you mom later'
Via "The Making of The Empire Strikes Back."

Lucas has gone back and forth on this one in interviews, but the honest truth seems to be that he wanted dark/death + "invader." Somewhere there's a video of him admitting he had no idea about the translation of the name until well after it was chosen (sorry, I looked and couldn't locate the clip in a timely manner).
Yeah I'm not surprised. I'm always, like, in a state of suspension of disbelief when it comes to hearing about Lucas insane conceptualizations, like hearing he suggested names like 'Darth insaneous' or 'Darth icky' at points. When I heard the Vader/Father explaination I was like "this is both on the nose enough and also too cleaver to be true"
couldn't locate a clip
Maybe he released the interview as a special edition
The Vader=Anakin thing was a retcon introduced when writing Empire. Early drafts of ESB explicitly have the two as different characters. Vader being the Dutch word for father is just a remarkable coincidence.
My online characters in the Jedi Knight series were always named "Darth Cestuous". I feel seen.
Darth Sane in the Membrane
Those are the only two Sith lords in canon whose names work like that, though.
Little known fact, Darth Vader was originally called Darth Flammable
Wouldn't that be Darth Cest, though? Darth Breeding's after the preggo sequel.
