I prefer Farlander over Endermen. For one thing, it sounds more original than Endermen and quite honestly, I wouldn't want something to be named in reference of something for the sake of a quick reference or gimmick. I like the Slenderman myth as much as the next guy, but honestly, besides the fact they they're really skinny, they really don't look like him. The fact that it follows you around when you aren't looking is kinda also a misnomer, because otherwise this would just as qualify.
As far as rolling off the tongue is concerned, both really are catchy within themselves, probably because both names have the same amount of syllables. (Far-Land-er and End-er-man).
The name Farlander gives them the implication that they come from somewhere distance and inhuman, providing a bit more depth for people who want to, I dunno, write about them or talk about them and stuff. The name Enderman anyone can recognize in an instant, but it'll forever be treated as just a small reference to an already established fictional mythology instead of something deeper. Like for example: "oh hey dude look at that enderman over there" "ohey man he looks like slenderman" "cool lets kill it" Versus "oh hey man look over there its a farlander" "oh **** man that thing looks fierce" "okay cool lets go kill it".
It's safe to say that no matter what you call it, people are going to want to fight this thing, and people will very much go and **** their pants when they face it. I personally believe that Farlander adds a bit more mystery instead of Enderman, though. But forever in my heart, my personal nickname for this thing is Good Ol' White Eyes.

It was the latter missions that I was stuck on, mainly because it got too complex at times for my 8 year old brain to handle, so I gave up on it until I found it again and felt nostalgic. There are 2 notable levels that are simply a pain in the ass.

That game, ladies and gentlemen, is called Homeworld.
Homeworld is an RTS (Real Time Strategy) game that takes place in space. It was first unveiled in 1999, and was the first fully three-dimensional RTS in it's existence, taking place in space. In summation, you play an exiled group of people who want to travel back to the world from which they were originally from, but recieve great friction in the form of deliciously concieved space combat.
To those of you curious of this game, there is a free available demo here which has 5 missions (the last one was never included in the final version of the game). The graphics are antiquated due to it's age (it was made in 1995) but it stills to be compelling even to this day.
To those that want to sample the action, I'm doing a Let's Play of it with the little time that I have off due to dealing with real life situations and dillemas that seem to slowly shift back and forth in resolution. I will post any updates to this LP here as much as possible.

I happen to enjoy making text effects of the subliminal kind, but mostly try to keep text out of anything I'm making unless it's either the center of something I'm making or as a subtle touch.
