The pattern I see in the prequels is to take a word that is ominous and twist it a bit such as:
Insidious -> Darth Sidious
Plague -> Darth Plagueis
Maul -> Darth Maul
Tyranny -> Darth Tyranus
That's what I'll use in my game.

|
|
From what I've noticed from the movies and KOTOR, Darth names are variants of negative and/or evil terms and words
Darth Vader (invader)
Darth Sidious (insidious)
Darth Revan (possibly a variant of Revenant which is a ghost or spirit)
Darth Malak (possibly a variant of malice)
Darth Tyranus (tyrant)
Darth Maul (to maul)
and my favorite: Darth Ballz (guess what movie that's from:) |

Thatīs a very interesting page about Vader. There is also an English-Dutch dictionary that could help with some dutch names for the siths.

You REALLY need to be hurt.
Badly.

| Count Dooku is a varient on the Japanese word doku which roughly means poison. I guess Lucas didn't like the ring of Darth Dooku which I can understand. |

In Malaysia "duku" is either a fruit or hitting someone on the head with your knuckles. So you can imagine some chuckles in the theater when the name came up.

Darth Vader is Swedish for Dark Father.
Do I get a medal?
How about:
Darth Smallberries
Darth Yaya
Darth Big Boote
