So... I recently noticed that a lot of people on the internet are complaining about Ultron Sigma's name, because it looks like they just putted the two names togheter and that's it (rather than triying to come up with a "creative" name like.... ultima?).
But the truth is, Ultron Sigma's name actually follows the Ultron naming convention from the comics. Ultron frequently upgrades himself and gives himself increasing numeric monikers, and Sigma is actually a math symbol used to represent complicated numerics in equations, just like how X and Zero are named after the math symbols and what they represent. Additionally, capitalized Sigma is summation, while lower case sigma denotes standard deviation. So, in this sense, its Ultron Summation, which aludes to the fact that the character is fusion (or in this case, a summation) of two different ones.
In other words: while some people see two names stapled together haphazardly, I see an appreciation for the history of both character's naming conventions.
