Not a fan of the Kintobor thing though, since that implies that Robotnik is basically just the brainwashed version of a good guy. If he was a one-off villain that got changed back in the end that would be fine, but I don't feel that works for the main villain of the series that has been going on for years and clearly will never change back.

But that was created by the US branch of SEGA as an advertisement from before Sonic 1 even came out, I highly doubt it's canon anymore that Robotnik used to be some good guy called Kintobor, from what we know of his family in the games it seems even less likely.

I actually like the idea, I feel it's probably the best explanation for why he would have a weird name like "Eggman" and name everything the Egg This or Egg That, probably one of the few times he managed to get one over on Sonic. "Ha! The I turned around the insult you tried to use on me and now everyone is scared of that name!"

I have seen the idea that even Robotnik is just a name he went by and not his real name, I guess it makes a bit of sense since Robotnik also sounds fake, but that's getting a bit convoluted. And the fan theories that his original name was actually Kintobor but without the originally was good thing are just silly since that's merely Robotnik backwards, it has the same problem.

Many last names did originate from what used to be a generations old family profession, and we know his grandfather was also like him, so I guess it can be a real last name that his family changed to at one point.

Likewise, I like the idea that Sonic is just a nickname, just like Tails is. Most other characters have more normal names like Amy, Rouge, etc.
