Charles Addams was directly involved in creating the show and naming the characters. He had apparently suggested both Repelli and Gomez, John Astin preferred and wanted to play him as Gomez Addams, so that stuck.
For Pugsley' s character Addams suggested Pubert. The studio didn't like it so he became Pugsley.
