Can someone please clear this up for me? In TPM Queen Amidala's servant was called Padme. When she stopped being queen Amidala became known as Padme. Is the former queen's full name Padme Amidala, and if so, why would she give her decoy the same name as herself?

Well i think she is known to the separatists as The Queeen Of Naboo, to which a further enquiry may lead to them knowing her as Queen Amidala. The first name would not be used formally.

So the seps. would never know that Queen Amidala and Padme are one.

Her full name is Padme Amidala but the Separatists dont know that. They only know her as Queen Amidala or The Queen of Naboo

yup. choosing to be a skywalker was a bad decision though

Signed her own death sentance

and yet if she hadn't...the story line would differ from what we all know and love

actually, if TC-14 hadn't told the viceroys the embassadors were jedi knights, there would be no TPM even

or if qui-gon had never gone to tatooine...amidala would've never met anakin...

Well its pretty bad that I had to come searching for the answer to this. It should have been clarified in the movie, as it's very confusing.

Made sense to me.

Poor padme.....beautiful heroine to the last

ok......acording to the book Her full name is padme naberrie and when she was elected Queen she had to choose a formal name(amidala)

Amidala is her middle name.


Her orginal name, without Skywalker:


Padme Amidala Naberrie.


Bcuz isnt her parents last name Naberrie.

Wow old thread, posted in this day after I registered. Yah her parents name's are Naberrie, I read somewhere her middle name was Samantha, don't remember where though. Probably fake, all Naboo rulers choose a "name of state" instead of their real names. Amidala is a "name of state".

But she became Senator Amidala. Once out of the Queenship shouldn't she go back to Naberrie in tha case.

I think Amidala WAS her real name, and Nabberi was the name used as her role as handmaiden.

her last name is Naberrie, bcuz every time you hear about Padme's family, it is always labled as "The Naberrie Family."


Is any one is intrested.... here's her family tree...

Ya-no, i get more confused as i continue to think about this, but I'm guessing that Amidala is her middle name.

You know how old is padme in TPM anyway cause ani was 10/11.

And I don't think I heard Ani call her anything in AOTC or ROTS.
But I might be wrong.

Her full name is Padme Naberrie Amidala. Like that person near the top of the thread said, Amidala was just a formal title, and I think Padme was kept secret for safety reasons

I think thats right... I hope thats right....

Ya-no, i get more confused as i continue to think about this, but I'm guessing that Amidala is her middle name. Maybe that was to keep her family secret and safe, just like Padme's decoys.

Yeah, I guess it can be like Obi-Wan changing his name to Ben.. i da-no, lol

It's just another name to write down.

I don't think Samantha is a true fact...probably just Padme Naberrie Amidala Skywalker. I still believe Amidala is a name of state.

wut i'd like to know is what the other senators thought of her once she stopped being Queen..

"wut happened to your royal accent, senator? now you just sound like some lil teenage girl"

did anyone know that Natalie Portman (Padme) is a porn star!!! naughty

Natalie Hershlag?

In the Phantom Menace she does explain it to Bossnass when they are asking the gungans for help.
Queen Amidala is Padme But she got a decoy, so they just used her normal name.

Padme Naberrie = her given name

Amidala = royal name taken after she was elected queen & kept later as a senator for formalities

Skywalker = well we know where that comes from..

so at various points throughout the PT she is Queen/Senator Padme Naberrie Amidala Skywalker

so any of these are correct
