You want to sit the whole species down and have a talk about how bad we are at naming anything? Cause that's literally what you're up against.

None of this is accurate. His name is Darkseid and he is from Planet Apokolips.
Oh wait, part of it was accurate, it is dumb.

It's the difference between having a plain English name that means "bad guy" and a name obscured in another language that means "bad guy".

English is a Germanic language, not a Romance (Latin based) language. When the Romans were here the country spoke a Celtic language.
English does have a very large amount of Latin/French loan words but you can avoid using them as there's almost always alternate words. Like feeling sick (Anglo-Saxon origin) vs feeling ill (Norman French origin). It's why English is so well suited for music and literature, lots of synonyms.

Joss Whedon Reportedly Blacklisted In Hollywood Now
Just a few short years ago, Joss Whedon's career was in a stronger position than it had been in before. He'd always been a cult hero, which is to be expected when you're the creator of such popular hit shows as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., not...

the point is, Darkseid from a planet called Apokolips is no sillier than a giant from the planet Titan. comic book character names were made with kids in mind to describe plainly what they're about. so they would buy the comic book.
