I don't see what's confusing either. Spitfire called her Rainbow Dash before she officially became a Wonderbolt, when she DID become one, she was the newest member of the team, thus the Newbie. And the episode itself explains that everyone gets their nickname based on their first impression. Rainbow Dash crashed and thus "Crash" became her nickname.

I honestly can't make it any simpler than that.
