I am going to disagree, that there's no need to rename Mad Robin. A lot of suggestions so far, unfortunately, can be interpreted as a dosido or a sashay, or a slide. Mad Robin is the full rotating with eye contact with person across. Omitting the latter by having the name imply only the motion leaves a name that doesn't convey all that the move does.
And, I think Mad Robin is not a basic move, so it needs to be taught in any room with any beginners anyway, so a rename doesn't simplify that.
