While their names may be incredibly on-the-nose, there are some Star Wars villains who are so intimidating that they can't really be mocked.
Despite having some very on-the-nose names, some Star Wars villains are too cool and intimidating to be mocked. Specifically in the case of the Dark Lords of the Sith, the names they take on are very straightforward as they're usually a tweak on some sort of sinister, negative, or malicious word. However, many times those villains do live up to their names .
11 Darth Maul Palpatine's first known Sith apprentice during the prequel trilogy, Darth Maul was a brutal and merciless servant of Darth Sidious during the events of The Phantom Menace. However, his defeat and years of exile after being discarded by Sidious motivated Maul to drop his traditional Darth first name. Simply Maul, the former Sith carved a path of destruction across the galaxy in a bid to get revenge on Obi-Wan Kenobi before turning his attention to the Sith who betrayed him.
9 General Grievous Positioned by Dooku to lead the Separatist droid armies, General Grievous definitely lived up to his name during the Clone Wars a "grievous" threat to both the Republic and Jedi Order. Claiming the lightsabers of the Jedi he killed in battle, it was only till the end of the Clone Wars that his most worthy opponent and rival Obi-Wan Kenobi finally defeated Grievous.
6 Agent Tierny Featured in Star Wars Resistance, Agent Tierny was an agent of the First Order Security Bureau. A master manipulator who believed that peace could only be achieved through the absolute reign of the First Order, Tierney's name worked quite well as a variation of "tyranny".
