What other attacks (or whatever) suffers from being horribly misnamed?

It's only Moonbeam when Mega Gardevoir in the anime use it. Otherwise it's a luminous sparkle ball that explode at your opponent.

Are you saying that their names should be rearranged?

Splash is pretty terribly named if you look at the shit that learns it. 'Flop' would've been better.

Didn't that one translator say it was supposed to be "Hop" and that's why Hoppip and Azurill learn it?

No. Thunder is noise, but in translation they were called thunder-whatever because lightning didn't fit.

A "thunderbolt" is a real term though, even if it refers to sound at least it's not made up like Moonblast.

Its Japanese name is basically 'Hop', yes.
It's a pretty severe case of translators going with what fits at the time; only Magikarp could have 'Hop' in Gen 1, so it's Splash in English.

Tail Whip sounds like hitting something with a tail.

It's proper name of Tail Wag doesn't sound as cool, but it's proper.
