Yeah, but why use Tenshinhan as the template for the name? What kind of connection does he have with Goku that makes him want to name his children after him?
I mean, if Goku was to name his children after someone, it would be Grandpa Gohan (already done) and Kuririn (his closest friend of the whole gang) or Bulma if it was a girl (but he thinks it's a silly name though).
No more time for Daizex. Goodbye folks!

It wouldn't have been Goku's logic. it would have been a pun created by the author.

Yeah. I know. But why Tenshinhan of all names?
I would like to add that I always thought that Goshin sounded kinda silly and fanfiction-like. Like when people name their OCs Gofun or Goka or something. And of course they are kids/grandkids of the Son family.
So I never really believed that there was a third child of Chichi and Goku's, especially with that name.

HA!
And then they "fixed it" by creaing Vulcan.
@Wojak: Tenshinhan for NO particular reason other than the coincidence it introduces. Goten and Gohan have their own puns. Goshin works on their names in a Bibidi Babidi Boo style.
