Anyway, the balancing of the Force was achieved by Anakin, with 2 on the Light side and 2 on the Dark. And once Yoda died, the ability to look into the future with that level of assurance died with him, so it's kind of the Wild West.
That's why no one predicted the coming of Rian Johnson to the icky brown side of the Force.

A quick Google tells me this:
"Palpatine was not given a first name in any canonical or "Star Wars Legends" sources until 2014, when the character's first name—Sheev—was revealed in the novel Tarkin, written by James Luceno."
From there I think Reddit picked it up and popularized it on r/prequelmemes
