I mostly play evil and found it very refreshing that the Blackguard kit opened the paladin class, which never appealed due to the alignment restriction, to my options. Now, I'm also interested in a evil-only ranger kit and if anyone thinks it's a good idea to have an evil ranger kit.
For a name, since the other ranger kit names aren't too flashy, I'd go with "Loner" - a woodsman who was not born with a deep connection to nature, but found to it later in life. Loners often suffered a loss or failure in their city life and withdrew from society to the solitude of the woods. They are bitter and generally dislike the company of people and learned the ways of nature to avoid them - so I guess stealth bonus - and more defend their chosen solitude than nature - ranged weapon bonus, maybe minor backstab multiplier since they try to kill intruders without making contact - the classic "shoot first, ask questions later" behavior.
For the "slightly weird, unsocial woodsman" flair, I'd give the kit a bonus for axes instead of dual wielding or - not sure if it's possible - the ability to backstab with an axe (a bit slasher movie-like). They aren't as much in touch with nature as regular rangers, they are just in the woods because no-one else is there. So they don't understand animals either - instead of Charm Animal, they'd get the ability "Enrage Animal" (which makes the target go berzerk and attack friend and foe alike).
