Palpatine had been trying to turn anakin to the dark side for years at point. He had probably had a notepad full of evil sounding names

Palpatine knew Anakin's wife was pregnant and Vader means father in Dutch, now thats evil

Yes. Plus Dutch Van Der Linde from Red Dead Redemption.

Seeing as how Palpatine was involved with midichlorian manipulation from the get-go, as revealed in Sith, he probably had the name picked years earlier.
