Why does Shadow Moon's name sound like something out of a 14-year-old's fanfic?

Because in Japan, simply being in English makes a name awesome, regardless of what it means.

As for pseudo Riders, I don't think Alternative is treated as a Rider (Unsure about this, though).

So far the list seems to be: Tackle Shadow Moon Mashin Chaser Alternative (Zero) Nazca could technically too, I suppose. Didn't he even have a driver as his transformation trinket? TBH, I was fully expecting Kirihiko to be a frequent W ally and become "Kamen Rider Nazca".

If you count people with a Driver as pseudo-riders, then technically every member of the Sonozaki family (minus Philip and Shroud) fall into that category, because they all use a driver- even the cat (but Saeko only uses it when she becomes Taboo. When she's Nazca, she uses the memory directly so... She's only a Taboo pseudo-rider?). I don't know if Dr. Isaka had one, but I think he used one at some point?

Nah, Alternative isn't a rider, technically. He's more like a Prototype Rider, but I think the thing that takes them out of the running is that in Ryuki's lore, a Rider is someone who participates in Kanzaki's game. Alternative wasn't really an intended factor, so he's not a Rider, even though one could certainly make the argument.

If you want further proof, the SHFs of the Alternatives aren't labeled as Riders.
I'm really disinclined to count Nazca. He was still very much monster-like in his transformed state. But that's just me. The Kamen Rider wiki's Kamen Rider like category has a good list, but to me definitely has a lot I'd call more than a stretch.

Same. Nazca was JUST a dopant. Maybe if he used a lost driver and his Gaia Memory was converted to the format Shotaro, Phillip, Soukichi, Ryu, and Katsumi used he would have been a rider. But yes, he's just a dopant. Nothing more nothing less.

You know, considering Riders, couldn't we technically count any of the Ace monsters from Blade?
Mild spoiler warning, but Chalice's "Rider" form is just the Mantis Undead wearing a buckle, as he doesn't transform into a Rider, but takes on the appearance of the Undead's card he scans through the Chalice Rouser.
