date Posted: Oct 06, 2006 10:06 AM Wow! Great list! You missed Darth Cognus and Darth Ruyn though... And, if you don't mind me asking, who are Darth Karnage and Darth Kruhl? I've never heard about them before...

date Posted: Oct 06, 2006 10:37 AM Cognus and Rugn added, thanks! Karnage and Kruhl have yet (if ever) to be revealed, but I figured I'd include them here as names people may want to avoid submitting. There might be others.

date Posted: Oct 06, 2006 12:20 PM Some of those names look like they were created by Supershadow. Darth Karnage? With a K? Puh-leeeaaassseee...

date Posted: Oct 07, 2006 12:04 PM While you may be able to make the claim that Vader is for invader, you (maybe) forget it is actually the Dutch word for father. But of course, there is probably no Dutch in the SW Galaxy.

date Posted: Oct 08, 2006 1:12 PM Darth Wyyrlock is likely derived from warlock. I'm not sure about Malak, but "mal" is Latin for bad or harmful. I hope Lucasfilm picks my suggestion: Darth Spooky!

date Posted: Oct 08, 2006 11:08 PM Well I would submit a name to the contest, only I've been excluded by the jokers in LFL who decided that it was US citizens only.

date Posted: Oct 09, 2006 6:41 AM Darth Karnage (carnage) Darth Kruhl (cruel) Horrible names! But Darth Tenebrous (tenebrous) Is pretty good

	yoda�s waiter Not if anything to say about it I have!
date Posted: Oct 09, 2006 7:49 AM Am I right in thinking that Andeddu = Undead? I think that's the neatest Sith name, that and Sidious

date Posted: Oct 09, 2006 1:13 PM Here are some tips for naming Darths: Ruining Lives, Just Ruining Lives: or, A Darth By Any Other Name, Part 1 Extinct for Over a Millennium: or, A Darth By Any Other Name, Part 2 I actually like Darth Karnage.

date Posted: Oct 14, 2006 7:06 PM Are Desolous and Tenebrous also "potential" Sith? Andeddu=Undead? Could be. Go to the Dark Horse website and look at the preview for Legacy #4.

Great but I'm wondering who are these Tenebrous, Karnage, Kruhl and Desolous ^^
Personal theory but that's probably wrong ^^ : that whould be Sith Names of Dark Lords we know but without their Darth Names.
Example : Carnor Jax ==} Darth Karnage
"Vongerella" ==} Darth Kruhl ?
Vergere ( if she's truly a Sith Lady ) ==} Darth Tenebrous ?
Marka ==} Darth Desolous ( after all women come with desolation :P )

Actually this Sith List is incomplete. I don't see Darth Finn, neither do Darth Flint and Darth Lumiya who if they never named with a Darth should be it I think so.

date Posted: Oct 23, 2006 10:52 AM The new names are all new characters. Aside from these news ones, I won't be adding names to this list that haven't officially appeared as Darth names.

date Posted: Oct 23, 2006 11:14 AM Ok for the new names. I'm looking forward who they are ^^. Sorry for Lumiya and Flint, they should very have a Darth Name. But Darth Finn however has a Darth Name and he is not present ^^

	leris.durron
date Posted: Oct 23, 2006 11:25 AM And I'd like to know if the Sith without Darth Names I have mentionned will have an official Darth Name ?

date Posted: Oct 23, 2006 11:34 AM If you have an official source where "Darth Finn" is used, let me know. Tales #18 refers to him as "Master Finn." Maybe those other Sith will get Darth names, maybe they won't. Only time will tell.
