EDIT: I did Caedus since it means killing slautering..,etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 None of them are really appealing to me. I'll probably pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Darth Acheron Darth Caedus Darth Judicar Darth Paxis Darth Taral Heh, the results of letting the fanboys decide. Maybe one of them will look nicer on print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Skywalker Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I second igyman. Although, out of all those, Acheron seems the best. Krayt or Feros would have been better . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK-42 Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 i didn't like them at all. they should have picked it themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KotO[REvan] Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Darth Caedus is the best out of those listed. But I'm not a member at starwars.com, and I'm too lazy to join, so I won't be voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentScope001 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I say it once on Gizka's forums and I say it again. Jacen Solo's Sith name should follow the traditions of Revan and Malak. He should just call himself Darth Solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SithRevan Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I think Paxis sounds pretty cool. Either that or Archeron would be way cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 EDIT: I did Caedus since it means killing slautering..,etcHow 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Of those listed, I chose Acheron, because of the river of woe thing. Caedus reminds me too much of Cade. I think they all suck though. They should have come up with it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden Kered Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Surely there had to have been better ones than these. But I would choose Acheron if I had to. >This should be made a poll on the LF index page, so we can get an idea of what every one here thinks of the names.

Char Ell Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 ^^^ Ah, I see now. I also just went back to the Official Darth Who? - Name the Newest Sith Lord page and Lucas Online added the meanings next to each of the names. They didn't have the name meanings when I looked yesterday, or at least I don't remember seeing them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztalker Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 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. Originally posted by HerbieZ I swear i remember a thread exactly like this because i was going to say 'Darth Hitler' and i'm positive i have typed that before. Yeah. We had a thread about the first round, in which you could really 'fill in' your name instead of voting. Schnitzelhausen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentScope001 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth InSidious Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 @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...

zadi Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaelastraz Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I agree. Got to be the worst "Darths" I've ever seen.. It's always bad if you let the fans decide those things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Catto Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Yeah, they suck. I didnt take a liking to any of them so im not going to vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
