Q99
Inspired by the other thread, what are the tier rankings of sith names? Not the Sith attached to them, just the darth names on their own.


Top tier-
Darth Vader

High tier-
Thanaton

Mid tier-

Low tier-

Lowest tier-
Darth Bandon

The Merchant
I really liked Freedon Nadd's name and Ludo Kressh's, rolls off the tongue well.

Emperordmb
Here's some good ones that come to mind (in chronological order):

Darth Xedrix: Sounds cool.

Darth Chratis: Something about the way it sounds is intriguing.

Darth Thanaton: Kinda rolls of the tongue

Darth Bane: Bane has kinda a badass connotation to it and sounds cool.

Darth Zannah: The meaning behind the name greatly amuses me.

Darth Tenebrous: Sounds cool, means shadowy.

Darth Plagueis: Something about this name just sounds unique.

Darth Tyranus: Sounds badass as **** (a lot more badass sounding than Dooku IMO)

Darth Vader: OG Sith name. This was the name that made Darth a thing.

Q99
Tyranus is a great name, it's a shame it doesn't get more play.

Sidious... not so great. Not bottom tier, but seems kinda straitforward for such a major sith.

Never liked Nadd's, but Kressh is a fantastic last name, I like how they reused it with his descendants.

Malak, Bandon, Kas'im, Zannah, and Luft are among the worst

Kas'im sounds like a exotic male stripper name

Nihlius and Vader are the best Sith names, imo.

Nihilus, Thanaton, And Plagueis are all cool names.

WildBantha88
Darth Traya is one of the worst because her name literally means "Dark Three" and Darth Zannah is just as bad because hers means "Dark Prostitute"

That's not the only meaning it has in universe tho.


Anyway yeah, Vader, Nihilus, Tyranus, they're pretty dope names in their own way.

Nalaniel
Vader, Nox, Nihilus, Tyranus and Tenebrous are my favorites.

thumb up

Not a fan of the name Plagueis.

And one of the worst has got to be Andeddu.

NewGuy01
Plagueis is a play on the word Plague, just like Nihilus is a play on Nihilism, and Thanaton is a play on Thanatos--God of Death. All of these are really cool and describe their owners well in terms of personality and talents.

And, of course, the names also just sound cool.

Darth Revan. I always liked how it was closely associated with Revenge and it's badass

Darth Tyranus. I always, it's a cool sounding name and it matches Dooku's cunning and noblemen-like personality.

Darth Sidious. I don't know, this just made Palpatine better imo, it's just one badass name.

Darth Traya. Traitorous, someone who knows and understands Betrayal, honestly this is one of my favorite Darth names, and it helps that it belongs to my all time favorite SW character.

Darth Vader. How can no one have this on their lists? the original badass and the guy who basically made Darth a thing. Gotta have the classics. smile

Thanks captain obvious. Doesn't mean Plagueis sounds stupid as hell. Especially since it is based on such a "common" English word.

I expected a sarcastic quip from Lucien about Bandon from Lucien, and all I got was a meme.

Captain Obvious is my favorite superhero.


Most of these names are based on common English words, regardless.

The Merchant
I also liked Naga Sadow and Marka Ragnos.

Darth Abonis
Darth Vader, Darth Nihilus, and Darth Bane are great.

Darth Vilus, Darth Nostrem, Darth Rictus

Darth Krayt, because of the in-universe etymology

Not bad, not bad at all. Above-average/highish tier I'd say.

I think it fits what's effectively a walking corpse.

Definitely above Bandon, Luft, etc..



Less, Darth Ekkage isn't a good one, it doesn't evoke *anything*.
Silthar sucks.
Scabrous (Darth *Scab*?).
Zhorrid (It's horrid with a Z on front!).
I don't know if Darth Guile is bad or awesome (Sonic boom!)
Darth Howl is one of the very worst.

Bandon was no Sith. He was above such mundane titles and ideologies. He just hung around the Sith since his homeboy, Revan was their pimp. He liked dressing up in their clothes, and using their Darth names, and calling people "master" because he was an avid LARPer.


That shit's canon. Thought everybody knew.

So your name is both esoteric and an allusion to either your natural subservient demeanor, or your propensity for magazine/YouTube subscriptions.

Reave and Rauder I view as solid, but fairly middle-of-the-road.


Maleval is a 'trying too hard' name.''


Kruhl's also sub-par.

NewGuy01
You don't get it.

The whole Darth Reave thing is an inside joke by members and former members of a broken forum.

Nephthys
Vitiate is ok imo.

Darth _Sadow1
I like Vader's name, Nihilus and Plagueis sound intimidating, Tyrannus needs more airtime, I like saying Naga Sadow and Marks Ragnos.... And though he isn't a Sith, I love Grievous's name
