Terrible Toku Hero Names?

These are not all shows I've seen but shows or heroes where the names just did not sound good to me.

Casshern. "Casshan" sounds better IMO. "Casshern" sounds like you're trying to say "Casshan" but you're fitshaced drunk.


Voicelugger
National Kid
Wecker
Red Bickies
Kamen Rider Den-O
Kamen Rider Drake
Kamen Rider Verde

AbaRanger. Actually this one is really just because I can't hear the term "aba" without thinking of that band from the 70's. It's also a bit awkward sounding by itself to me.

Fiveman. Really? Fiveman. Did they even try? Though I read that this was actually the intended name for the show that became Maskman which is part of why the have the Superman \S/ inspired 5's on their chest. While that might have made a bit more sense for that show I'm glad they went with Maskman. It has more of an...er, aura to it.
 
Somehow, classic Tokusatsu shows suffer from odd names.

Like Fireman, Rainbowman, etc.

And yeah. Zaido is indeed...odd...
 
-BlueBeet
-Reddle
-G-Stag
(As much as I love B-Fighter..wow the names were odd)
-MagiShine
-Voicelugger
-Ultraseven 21
-AkaRed (Wow...I get that it's a pun...but Toei really scraped the bottom of the barrel for that one)
-Kamen Rider Orga

Eh, there are more, I just can't think of them at the moment.

I know it's pronounced "Casshan," but I've always thought Casshern (try pronouncing it the Americanized way) is an awesome name. I wonder why they went with that spelling. :O
