Regardless, the Japanese name has always been ‘Doctor Eggman’, due to his shape (and original concept for the character being egg like). It sounds like a person who would be a crazy doctor who creates robots. Robotnik’, it just makes sense with the villain. I’m one of those people who loves the name ‘Dr. Obviously since Sonic is a nomad badass, he doesn’t really consider any place home.
