How did you come up with that? I did some cursory Google searching and a lookup at dictionary.com but couldn't find any info about caedus' meaning being killing and slaughtering.

 

Acheron apparently has its roots in Greek mythology as the name of a river in Hades. I'd rather the SW universe stick with its own unique names and not something borrowed from our universe.

 

I think I'll vote Darth Taral even though that may have its roots in a Star Trek DS9 character.

From Starwars.com

The finalist names are: Acheron (a river in Hell for those who deny justice), Caedus (a battle of darkness), Judicar (the final judge), Paxis (bringer of peace) and Taral (ancient Sith for "he who protects").

 

Right..that sucks.

All are related to Earth. The only that does it for me is Taral, really. It's at least somewhat original. :(

Yeah. We had a thread about the first round, in which you could really 'fill in' your name instead of voting.

 

Schnitzelhausen! :smash:

Indeed. Leaving stuff up to fans rarely works.

 

QFT. I think there was a contest where you are able to create an entry in the Star Wars datapad, and if it get accepted, it automatically becomes "canon". You have to pay for Hyperspace Membership first in order to qualify for the contest.

 

To me, those entries "never work".

@CM: The closest to 'caedus' I can come up with is caedo, caedere - to kill, rather than slaughter precisely. cado, cadere - to fall could also be the origin. Might also be from 'clades', meaning 'disaster'.

 

What dire choices...I might go with Lord Nifens - from 'carnifex' - executioner, or Iuratis (from coniuratio - plot/conspiracy), but neither's an option...

All those names are terrible.

 

Too bad I didn't nominate Darth Naitsu or Darth Daten for his name because I think it's better then what's given.

 

Naitsu is short from naitsuusha which means "betrayer" while Daten is short from datenshi which means "fallen angel".
