[Star Wars] Why are Sith Lord names so vaguely menacing?

Why isn't there a Darth Ted? What if someone just really liked their name before becoming a Sith Lord? It's weird that in a philosophy that stresses freedom, everyone agreed to go with most evil sounding name they could think of.

Sith Lords want to intimidate from the start, they want to intimidate everyone well before they ever see them. The scary name allows them to seem scarier when people tell stories about them.  Darth Plagueis invokes thoughts of plague and suffering, Darth Ted you would just assume is a dick because he's Sith, but it doesn't really scare you.
