I have finally been able to see "Revenge of the Sith." While I did not note all of the politicization that my friends told me the movie contained, I did enjoy the line, "Only the Sith deal in absolutes." (Of course, I happen to believe that the derivation of "Sith" is "Seth," as in the godly line of the descendants of Adam.)

Of course, that line received some well deserved attention--especially since it itself is an absolute. But some friends of mine decided rather than offer a philsophical argument taking that line to task they would just go with it and have some fun. They gave each other Sith names.

I have decided to do the same. Call me Darth Rhiyv (sounds like "reeve"). Having nothing to do at lunch one day I came up with the following Sith names. Pick one.

Darth Aerrogain (sounds like "AIR-again") (from "arrogant", which we Sith are--for believing that we know the absolute truth)

Darth Aebail (pronounced "Abel")

Darth Aedwairds (pronounced "Edwards")

Darth Aelius ("alias") (from "aleithia", the Greek word for truth)

Darth Aenaak (pronounced almost like "Enoch," but more like eh-KNOCK)

Darth Baansain (pronounced "Bahnsen")

Darth Baegus ("BAG-us") (from "biggot")

Darth Baen (also sounds like "bane") (from "bane," which, of course, the Sith are)

Darth Baem (rhymes with "same") (from "bomb")

Darth Bain (sounds like "ben") (also from "bane")

Darth Blaeghairt (pronounced "BLEH-girt") (from "black heart," or "black guard"--take your pick)

Darth Braeg (rhymes with "braid") (from "brag," since we Sith brag that we know the truth and no one else does)

Darth Braemstain (pronounced "BRIM-stin")

Darth Daeblain ("DABBLE-in") (from the Greek, "diabolon", "devil")

Darth Faarail (pronounced "Farel")

Darth Gaen (sounds like "gain") (from "gun," which every good right-winger possesses)

Darth Haache (pronounced "Hodge")

Darth Khaalvain (pronounced "Calvin")

Darth Kaiypair (pronounced "Kuyper")

Darth Kharkopian (from "cacophony," which we surely create at all our Sith protests, etc)

Darth Khartaen (car-TAIN) (from the Greek for "judge")

Darth Khophius (also from "cacophony")

Darth Kraitaen (from the Greek "krateo," "I seize," i.e., power, money, etc [e.g., democrat], since we Sith are enemies of democracy, which is an interesting assertion when you think about what the word democracy means [i.e., "the people sieze"]!!!)

Darth Krattis (also from "krateo")

Darth Lor (from "liar")

Darth Louthair (sounds like "Luther")

Darth Maal (rhymes with "pal") (from "malicious")

Darth Praed (rhymes with "braid") (from "proud")

Darth Rhaaiytwiyng (pronounced "right-wing")

Darth Rhael (sounds like "rail") (since we Sith rail against this and rail against that)

Darth Rhaek (pronounced "rake")

Darth Rhaemus (from "ignoramus", since we Sith are uneducated and stupid)

Darth Rhaes (pronounced "race") (from "racist")

Darth Rhantis (from "ignorant")

Darth Rhait (rhymes with "wet") (from "wrath")

Darth Rhiyv (pronounced "reeve") (from the Hebrew word for a legal case)

Darth Saipraem (pronounced "sih-PRAME) (from "supremacist")

Darth Sait (pronounced "set", from "Seth")

Darth Sarpaen (sar-PAIN) (from "serpent")

Darth Scaephair (pronounced "Schaeffer")

Darth Slaet ("slate") (from "absolute")

Darth Taen (rhymes with "bane") (from "certain" since we Sith claim to have certainty about our beliefs)

Darth Taihraen ("h" is silent;sounds like "terrain") (from "tryant," since we Sith want to institute a theocratic tyranny)

Darth Taihroi (pronounced teh-ROY; rhymes with "destroy") (from "destroy")

Darth Tain (pronounced "ten") (also from "certain")

Darth Tair (pronounced "tare") (from the Spanish, "poder," "power")

Darth Traen (pronounced "train") (also from "tyrant")

Darth Tourhetain (pronounced "Turretin")

Darth Vaantael (pronounced almost like "Van Til," but more like vin-TAIL)

Darth Vairachius (ver-AH-key-us) (from "veracity")

Darth Vairatis (ve-RAH-tis) (from "veritas")

Gee, this is fun! More fun than engaging in a light-saber battle (i.e., logical rejoinder) with a "Jedi"--especially since these Jedi are in most cases...uh...unarmed, if you get my drift. Try it yourself and see what you come up with.
