Darth Vader is a classic, is meant to be derrived from father.....in some german/dutch thing.
However I just noticed that Darth Gravid, really fits the bill in "odd" translations.
I am from Norway, and in Norvegian (as well as danish and swedish) gravid means Pregnant.
Darth Pregnat........it maybe don't ring as well as Darth Gravid but is still funny |

Gravid is also an archaic English term for pregnancy... which makes sense, given that Old enough English is Old Norse mixed with Old English.
