    That's what George Lucas wanted.

    when a sith becomes a sith, they get a Darth name from their master - i think of it a bit like leaving behind the old you and becoming the new you.

    Because it signified his death as a person and his commitment as a sith.

    Just for the heck of it, I looked up "Vader" on a multi-language translator site, got some funny results:

    Brazillian Portuguese = Ford
    Spanish = Wade
    Norwegian = Wade (same?)
    Latin America Spanish = both Ford and Wade
    Finnish = Raspberry
    Hungarian = Savage
    Turkish = Fixed term; Date

    I have no idea if it's correct or not... but it's interesting.

    personally i think it might have been a WW2 reference - the german 'vaders 'vadin france. (ancient slang term for invader if anyone didn't catch that...) if i'm right, it's not the only german WW2 reference there.

    Well "Vater" in German means father. Maybe GL didn't wanted to hint about luke and vader's connection.
