Some context to what lead me to create this: A while ago, 
Phoenix Fox and I were discussing what the Jedi would call their lightsabers if they named them like how other knights of fantasy name theirs. We thought it fitting to call Darth Vader's lightsaber, "Oath Breaker," and Anakin's, by logic would be called, "Oath Keeper." Then I started thinking about Luke Skywalker, who neither follows the path of the old Jedi religion nor went against it, but went down a path he created himself. So the name of Luke's lightsaber would conveniently share the same name as my daemon beast, "Maverick."

See, every time I hear "Oath Keeper," I just think of Oathkeeper from Kingdom Hearts. I wouldn't say that Anakin's was Oath KEEPER so much as it was Oath TAKER (or even Oath Maker), since he didn't really keep the promise an oath entails. Plus, that would rhyme with and be more thematically on point with Oath BREAKER, at least in my opinion (for whatever that's worth.) It would make more sense if Luke had kept Anakin's saber throughout the entire run, but as we know, he loses it when he fights Vader for the first time (as well as his arm.) Thematically, this is Anakin, as Vader, fully breaking his oath, because in the process he effectively destroys (or erases, at any rate) his old saber, fully breaking his "oath" in that he quite literally severs the last tie he ever had to his old Jedi ways in losing his old saber.
...That being said, semantics aside, Maverick makes total sense. And also... I didn't fully know that's what a Maverick was until you explained it. Thank you!

Setting aside what Anakin is “famous” for, Oath Keeper, we believe, would be Anakin’s lightsaber not just because of the his commitment to the Jedi order, but also because of his commitment to his mother (his promise to not fail again), his marriage to Padme’ and his loyalty to the Republic.
No problem, and thank you too

Good effects doesn't mean the writing got better. I'm not dissing the writing for "The Mandalorian," but special effects should not come first.
Also, I wanted to point this out in my previous response: Grogu ages much slower than humans like Luke. Luke giving Grogu isn't so much a traditional Jedi ultimatum as it is recognizing that if Grogu chooses to go with Din Djarin, then Luke won't be around to continue his training. In turn, if Grogu continued his Jedi training with Luke, then Din wouldn't be around (or at least wouldn't be a Mandalorian) anymore.
