Well, for those who missed me saying this last time, please listen up as I would like to clear up this confusion. The truth is Robotnik IS the REAL name of Eggman, Sega didn't technically change this information, it is still official.

The thing is, Robotnik's real name is Robotnik but Sonic and his friends call him Eggman due to his egg like shape. It's more of a nickname then his actual name, and Robotnik is used to being called it, so it's no surprise people call him that.

Robotnik has gone several name changes actually. In the cartoon he was called Dr. Ivo Robotnik, in some Sonic SEGA games he was once called Dr. Kintobar who was originally good and became evil then changed his name to Robotnik.

And in the archie Sonic comics his birth name was Julius Kintobar of the House of Ivo, before changing his name to Dr. Ivo Robotnik because he thought it was more evil sounding.

Btw, another game boss I loved: Sweet Tooth from the Twisted Metal series.
