Well what do you want them to put at the end? Super-Dude, Bat-Bro, Aqua-gentleman.
But yes they could be a little more original

I watched an interview with Stan lee once where he was asked the same questions:
Peter Parker
Reed Richards
Bruce Banner
Betty Brant
JJ Jameson
etc...
He said it was because he had so many ideas floating around he just tried to make them simple and easy to remember

In the bible, anything with the sound "El" at the end of their name means "Of God". the angels are named "Michael" Gabriel" Raphiel". Possably the creators of superman knew this and made it part of the Kryptonian names.

it is, and since superman is almost like a copy of the mesias... it's very likeable

Adrian means "Dark One". My first two names are Adrian Michael... so I guess I'm The Dark One of God? That's pretty cool.
