What's in a name, Spotty?

I have just been lying in bed and something has been bothering me. You know how it is... as soon as you've got something on your mind you have to play it out.
And the issue that has been concerning me is.....
Why did Superted call his best friend Spotty?
spotty
Doesn't it seem a bit rude to pick on a physical 'attribute' of someone and create a nickname based on it? Yes he has spots! But it wasn't his fault, he was born with them. It's not as if he chose to be spotty. Some friend Superted is! And this is a kids show- a show claiming to promote moral values about helping each other, and the main hero calls his best friend 'Spotty' just because he has spots! No wonder Ginger kids have problems at school.
So the next time someone at school gets called Ginger or Four Eyes, I know who to blame.. Superted!!!!

Or perhaps it isn't Superted's fault. Perhaps Spotty first introduced himself as Spotty! Perhaps it really is his name! IN that case I have serious concerns about the mental stability of his parents. I mean, here they are on a planet called Spot! And they give birth to a Spotty man. And out of all the names they could have chosen, they chose Spotty! How cruel is that? That's tantamount to child abuse! Unless of course everyone gets called Spotty- then that would really make drawing family trees difficult! Or even taking a school register.

And that's been playing on my mind this morning.

Which leads me on to their enemies... Skeleton and Bulk.......
