Hope Cemetery in Rochester, NY, too. I think I may have a photo of it somewhere. Anyway, having a name starting with D and the last name Vader is great, even if it isn't Darth. There's nothing stopping you from writing your name as D. Vader, which if I were Daniel P. Vader (and if I didn't die well before the films were made) I would be sure to do where appropriate.
