In Japan, he was always called Eggman, and when it was ported to America, he was called Robotnik.
Then, in Sonic Adventure, in an early cutscene, Sonic says "Look! It's a giant talking egg!" and from then on, he was called "Eggman" by Sonic and at first it was an insult, but now Robonik calls himself "Eggman".
