No doubt you can guess where the inspiration for this thread came from. We've heard the "best." Now lets here the rest! Was it "One you made up? One you saw in a module? One that a friend of yours used? One you know from a book or movie? One you overheard at a convention or gameday?
Come on? What is it? Where you get it? Why do you hate it?" (thanks Mark
)
The worst ones that come to my mind are George Lucas's
Darth Sidious (named this, no doubt because he was so... insidious)
Darth Maul (Careful, he might Maul you)
Darth Tyranus (do I even have to point this one out?)
Even Darth Vader, who always sounded pretty cool, was no doubt called this because he was an invader)
Still once you know the pattern, it is useful when naming your own N.P.C. Sith Lords. You can come up with all sorts of fun names based on the things that get up your nose i.e;
Darth Necrimus
Darth Vampirus
Darth Evilus
Darth Nasalus
Darth Pedantis
Darth Emoticonis
Darth Halitosas
Darth Pop-upas
Darth Leaves-the-milk-out-of-the-fridgis
Darth Doesn't-wear-deodourantas
If you don't follow the rules you could end up calling your Evil Jedis anything. In the last Star Wars campaign we faced the evil Darth Mendi. (She must have been ...mendacious)
Place names can be bad too of course. In the early games of a friend of mine we spent a a month or so in the town of Hubbida Hubbida!
And I myself have had my fair share of bad names, my worse choice belonging to my favourite character a paladin by the name of Fyellis Ingadaris (presumably because he was fearless)
So, what are onomastical skeletons hiding in your closets?
