Star wars is only three moves from 77-83 and nothing else exists. But also this
*cough*
All Sith LORDS are given sith names, except for Darth Maul for some reason
Ftfy, all non lord Sith keep their regular name
think of it like papal or regal titles. some choose to take a new name representating their position (pious, innocentius, vigilius) some choose to use a real name (john/fabian/felix)
Pope Francis' real name is Jorge though.
Maul was taken as a baby and raised by Palpatine as only ever a Sith. Other people who join the order probably had a life prior to being a Sith and thus that prior identity is "killed" with the taking of a Sith name.
