Cheerilee's name has nothing to do with her special talent either. Names are not intrinsically tied to their cutie marks, which are also not necessarily tied to their talents. Remember what Cheerilee said about them? They're about what makes a pony special and different from the others, not necessarily their special talent (though that is often the case, but it does handily explain Silver Spoon, Diamond Tiara, Filthy Rich and Stinking Rich). Derpy could be a loving nickname (much as we, the fans, have given her) without any malice, and the bubbles on her Cutie Mark could be that she's a clumsy bubble-head. We simply don't know enough about the character.

And yes, you mentioned Hasbro indirectly. "it's not like they care about the fanon names *cogh*Heartstrings*cogh*" Calling the toy Heartstrings was Hasbro's decision, not the production crew's. It's the same with Carrot Top/Golden Harvest: the crew also called her Carrot Top but Hasbro made a toy of the same pony and named her Golden Harvest.
