Your usual Mad Scientists tend to be quite creative when it comes to plans of world domination through whatever crazed contraption they may come up with in their heads, but that sadly does not seem to apply for their own names. When not naming themselves "Frankenwhatever", "Somethingstein" or "Genericius", they often just go for a simple name that references their superior intellect, usually after their superhuman brains or some other part of the cerebral system.
Brain-derivative words like "Brainstorm" or "Brainchild" are particularly common as well. For added meaningfulness, those characters may have gigantic, exposed brains or are possibly a brain themselves, stuck in a jar of undisclosed liquid. They may also be fond of Mind Control or other experiments that mess around with other people's brains. Might even possess Psychic Powers too.
Likely to be a case of Names to Run Away from Really Fast, since, again, it's difficult to find an example that's not mad to some extent, although benevolent or harmless examples do exist, in which case, the "brain" name might be just a nickname to indicate that they are smart.
Captain Colorbeard is a similar naming convention relating to pirates.

Dr. Neo Cortex, the main antagonist of the Crash Bandicoot series. Appropriately, his head is enormous and he specializes in experimenting with an assortment of animals in order to give them intelligence and use them as soldiers, including the protagonist Crash, considered one of his "failures".

The 2019 reimagining of Carmen Sandiego renames her to Saira Bellum, losing some of the pun.

The Brain of Pinky and the Brain. A laboratory mouse hellbent on taking over the world with a different scheme every (tomorrow) night. This contrasts with his Bumbling Sidekick Pinky, who's named after the body part farthest from the brain, the pinky toe. Brain's naming scheme was kept across translations: His French name is Cortex.

Professor Brainstorm of Plants vs. Zombies: Heroes is one of the heroes in the zombies' side. He's the second zombie in the Plants vs. Zombies franchise who follows the mad scientist aesthetic (the first being Dr. Zomboss, a recurring boss and the zombies' leader), and his two classes (Brainy and Crazy) are partially associated with intelligence and technology.
