Character Names- the Dorky and the Cool

Some characters seem to have lucked out with a very baddass tag, while others received names that will always take 100 points away from thier "Coolness Quotient".
But it doesn't always work out that way.

So, Cool and Dorky.

Give an example of each.

Off the top of my head-

Tigershark- cool

Supergiant- dork, destined to die.

Cool (Namor)

Dorky (Aquaman)

Aquaman should have been Sea-Man. Like King of the 7 seas and all "sea" life.

Good: Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Iron Man...

Bad: Antman

Not sure why?

Cool - Midnighter - sounds scary

Dork - Captain Boomerang (why 'Captain'? Seems pretty arbitrary rank-wise. Why not, 'Colonel Boomerang'? Nope, that's stupid too. In fact, anything ending in 'Boomerang ' is ridiculous)

Where's Riv? He's awesome at this sort of thread.

Bat spider and iron are cool prequels to man. Super is ok too

Cool - Hyperion

Dorky - Matter Eater Lad

Ants are small and weak and everything eats them.

Ants eat spiders and unlucky bats.

Plastic Man- uncool. Deserves something cooler. Like "the Extender" or "Non-Static Shape Man".

Maelstrom- pretty cool

Im sorry, but Matter Eater Lad
For a character with a cool power, they could have done better.
Drugs, pizza and igniting farts, obviously distracted the creators one night.

Cool name?- definitely thumbs up for
