You've a point with the other stuff though.

Right. It's a rhinoceros beetle. But that's what I was trying to say, the name is a play on words. It's a helmet of a rhinoceros beetle. Japanese is big on double meanings, and Kamen Rider (like a lot of Japanese media) uses a lot of double intended meanings in their naming patterns. Just like Kagami's name (mirror) is supposed to imply that he's an everyman, a character that the audience can relate to.
