Eggman is his actual name though. When it was brought to America it was localized as 'Robotnik' without the creators consent.

As far as the creator/developers are concerned, Robotnik is the 'stupid moniker,' as you put it.

My understanding is that they reconciled both names some time ago, the character's in-universe real name is Dr. Ivo Robotnik and Eggman is the moniker he's known for.
