Does anyone else here agree with me that it would have made more sense for John Blake's real name to  be Terry McGinnis  instead of Robin? 

Yes. I believe they didn't use it because most people would kind of go "what? who?"

you telling me that most of an audience that would watch a Batman movie, wouldn't know who Terry McGinnis is? 

Well, yeah. First off, TMcG (as I'll call him) is a fairly new creation. Robin's been around for 73 years. Also, I'd wager to bet that at least 20% of the people who are going to see the movie are not really Batman fans (just fans of TDK or some other reason). Then it's important to note that probably at least another 30-50% are just casual Batman fans. Then you have to account for people like my brother, who was actually a fan of Batman Beyond back in the day, but couldn't for the life of him remember the name TMcG. So, yeah.
