Bat Spin was fanmade, I don't think they count, though the judges definately needed an earful for choosing that.

Ignitor for sure. Eruptor at least is a monster-sounding name, that one has nothing to do with knight and explosions are a specific path upgrade.

Wham-Shell: I just feel like I've been missing a pun with this one for four years.

Spy Rise: Like Wham-Shell, this name just makes me feel like I'm missing a pun.

Hood Sickle: I feel like I'm missing a pun, again, but this one is too blunt for me. Not as bad as some others because "Sickle" is just a badass word, but still bad.

Yeah,but Wham-Shell is a crab. If he had clam powers it'd make sense,but as of now it doesn't.

I think I just got "Slobber Trap". Slobber Trap. Like bear trap.
... Would still be really bad since he's nothing like a bear and it's really a stretch.

Iunno about least creative (besides Chop Chop, how has nobody mentioned him?), but imo the worst are:

• Whirlwind: Sure, she uses weather-based attacks, but none of her moves actually involve tornadoes or wind. Stormee, while it was cheesy, was a cooler name. To be fair, this is far from the worst because it makes sense as a birth name, but it's always bothered me to no end.
  
• Sunburn: He's my favorite character, but I'm sorry, this is just a boring name. It feels like they just looked for a Fire-related name and picked one. And I can't think of any, but with such a cool concept behind him, I have the feeling Sunburn could have had a much better name.
  
• Wham-Shell: I just feel like I've been missing a pun with this one for four years.
  
• Boom Jet: What's a noise bombs make? Boom. What's this mabu dood riding on? Jet. Do those two words go together for something catchy or some good pun? Whocaresthat'sthenamewe'regoingwith.
  
• Fire Kraken: Would actually be a fantastic name for a firecracker-weilding kraken, but alas, 'tis a firecracker-weilding dragon.
  
• Dune Bug: I don't mind Scratch or Scorp because at least those sound like monster names, regardless of how blunt they are, but Dune Bug is just literally what Dune Bug is and doesn't sound cool or catchy.
  
• Spy Rise: Like Wham-Shell, this name just makes me feel like I'm missing a pun.
  
• Breeze: To be fair, with Whirlwind this was probably the best option (unless they named her Stormee, which would have been an AWESOME throwback), but her name has the same problems.
  
• Tuff Luck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moK7nE_UCqU
  
• Bat Spin: I know this wasn't the developers' fault, but... I shouldn't really have to go over this. At least it does relate to her ability of spinning around bats, but ugh...
  
• Hood Sickle: I feel like I'm missing a pun, again, but this one is too blunt for me. Not as bad as some others because "Sickle" is just a badass word, but still bad.
  
• Terrabite: Maybe this doesn't deserve to be on the list, but it's just always bothered me so much how this sounds like "terabyte" when that has nothing to do with him, plus it doesn't bring to mind his abilities like Terrafin's name. In fact, neither of them have any bite attack at all, unless you want to count the mini-sharks?
  
• Slobber Trap: Disgustingly similar to Slobber Tooth (which wasn't even a very good name, but at least sounds animalistic), don't see any pun, not catchy or cool.
  
• Thumpling: Just a lazy variant of Thumpback's name that doesn't sound good.
  
• Spotlight: I know her name is meant to oppose Blackout's, but his just sounds a lot more badass and he literally warps out of reality with black holes, so... I guess you could say her tertiary creates spots of light on the ground but that seems like a stretch...
  
• Spitfire: Come ooonnn you could have at least gone for Speedfire. :T But seriously, unless you want to say he spits out tornadoes of fire, his abilities have nothing to do with spitting out fire and he's even a melee rather than ranged character!
  
• Splat: Absolutely lazy and if her society is meant to be uptight then I don't see how "Splat" could be her birth name. Maybe it's just the name she always wanted and she gave it to herself or something, which would actually be sweet, but that's theorymongering and not canon.
  
• Tri-Tip: A triceratops with a weapon that has a sharp tip. Welp.
  
• Ember: Could work as a birth name but terrible hero name, especially when they could have just gone with Flamurai, as obvious as that name would be.

Also, I thought about adding Lightning Rod to the list, until I realised his secondary move is literally a huge rod of lightning.

I JUST got that "Prism Break" is also meant to be a pun relating to his backstory, you know, about waking up after hundreds of years.

Considered adding Luminous to the list too- but I wouldn't be surprised if he chose that name himself and that would be kinda egotistical and fit perfectly. Plus, even though it would be lazy to keep it as his villain name, I can see that being his birth name given that his species are entities literally made of light. And again, it fits his egotism anyway.

Thought about adding Blaster-Tron too, but then I realised that name is meant to be tongue-in-cheek like Broccoli Guy, since the character acts tongue-in-cheek (though doesn't pull it off as well as Broccoli Guy, Broccoli Guy ruuuuuuulesssss!).

Giants and most TT names were on-point.

P.S. What's the pun/reference behind "Dr. Krankcase"? I feel like it's something I should have gotten right away, but I really don't know.
