Well, Darth Vader is supposed to be something like Finnish, Dutch, or Norwegian for Dark Father. So perhaps get something in a foreign language for son. Or maybe try Darth Estoc. An estoc is a type of sword, and Obi-Wan and Yoda were kinda trying to make Luke into the weapon that would take out the heart of the Empire. Since Jedi are associated with swords (after all, what is a lightsaber but a laser sword), it seems natural that that weapon would be a sword.

| I know there was a Darth Sion already...but how about Darth Scion? Especially since I remember hearing once, ages ago so this has probably been invalidated, that "Vader" was derived from some word for "father". |

It was actually mentioned in the Vader issue of Star Wars Galaxy Magazine what the language is.

Isn't it German? Vader (pronounced almost "fater") is German for father I believe... Although I'm wrong a lot.
One Darth name I plan on using is Darth Hatian. Hatian is old english for hate. Not entirely clever. But Darth Maul isn't exactly super-clever either. |

I'm trying to think back to my German 101 college class but isn't the german D more of a T sound? And the T more of a D sound? Not exactly, but in that german way.
The V is more of a F sound at any rate. |

| No... T is T, D is D. Though V is indeed F. |

| Not quite the same as an English T or D though. I can pronounce it fine in my head, and it's a little clipped or something. |
