Dr. Robotnik, but they are 2 different people, as one died and the other is from another dimension.

I use them interchangeably. Generally lean towards calling him Eggman in newer/modern games and Robotnik in older/classic games.

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

Eggman. That whole "it's what I knew first" excuse is bullshit. Just like "Toadstool" was always Peach, "Robotnik" was always Eggman.

Depends on which game I'm talking about.

Eggman after SA1, Robotnik before. SA1 itself? Meh, whichever.

Aren't both names canon though?

Does his grandfather Gerald Robotnik have a different name in japan too?

His original name is Doctor Eggman, but the English translators changed his name to Dr. Robotnik for some reason, and then later made them both his names for later games.

Always call him Robotnik. In my personal headcanon, I view 'Eggman' as a derogatory nickname Sonic came up with that the doc is now resigned to.

That's pretty much what the translators went with after the fact.

Both Sonic Adventure and the new movie treat it as that.

I'm positive I read this in a character bio somewhere, but I can't for the life of me remember where. It might have been in one of the games, or in one of the comics, or even just on a wiki somewhere.

But anyway, SA1 kinds implies it, even though it's pretty clear that was just an attempt to reconcile them changing his name.

There's some parallels here with Aeris / Aerith in that they coincidentally started being called by their 'proper' names once their respective franchises started turning to shit.

My head canon. His name is Dr. Ivo Robotnik. Over the years Sonic and others have been making fun for years from Robuttnik to Eggman to Egghead. Robotnik decided to keep the name Eggman and uses it spread fear instead of annoyance.

So he goes by Eggman now as a way of saying he doesnt care about the taunts Sonic made

To be fair though, that is a pretty smart way to acknowledge it.

It was pretty graceful in the game itself but it was kinda awkward how he suddenly stops caring in the very next entry.

Also I always liked the dynamic where he hates being compared to an egg but he goes out of his way to name all his machines after eggs, lol. It's exactly the kind of thing a goofy villain would do.
