2. Doctor Eggman (Sonic The Hedgehog)

For all the 90s kids everywhere, say it loud and proud: "HIS NAME IS DOCTOR ROBOTNIK".

It feels almost like you can pinpoint the downfall of the legendary blue blur to when Sega switched gears and began naming the formerly-awesome sounding robo-villain to 'Dr. Eggman'. It just didn't feel right anymore.

To this day, there are fans that refuse to call him by his 'proper' name, and it remains to be seen if the good doctor will be called Robotnik or Eggman in the fan-targeted dream that is Sonic Mania.
