While Enderman does sound better; Farlanders is a more original name to go with. Enderman is just the shortened verson of Slenderman, and in my opinion Notch should probably be more original with the mob.
In all seriousness, he should find a whole new name for them. Neither are that great.
im not gonna lie, how they look is damn scary to me. if notch does make it so that pumpkins camouflage you, then i would never leave home without one. the way they are supposed to act is also freaky. creepers will always be the scariest to me, though.
I think they might be not attacking because they are the npc villagers. Notch said there a "scary" mob not a dangerous one. It would be cool if a player sees one and screams "ahh monster!" and the farlander screams "ahh monster!" or something like that.
Endermen all the way. I think its association with Slender Man is the reason that it's creepier, and Notch wants creepy. Farlanders just sounds like a society of nomadic, futuristic assholes. (Totally not creepy.)
Endermen FTW. Even if it is unintended I think it is a great play on Slendermen (Slender Man), which is what I first thought when I saw them. :ohmy.gif:

Slenderman is not creepy. Its stupid.
What is so creepy about a guy with long arms and legs, no face, and a suit?
Farlanders 10 times over. Their name is actually based off something in the Minecraft universe and not just, "HUR HUR HUR, REDDIT MEME SO FUNNY."
My only other concern about them is that I don't want them to just jump around like a group of retards when trying to move up a hill. It ruins their atmosphere.

I find the amount of buzz that sprung up over just the original picture to be absolutely amazing.
FARLANDERS FOR THE WIN

No, the point of that name would be that they originate from the Farlands.
Enderman is just a rip-off of Slenderman, which is not even scary.
