It's possible that Monty was going to give Cobalt a last name that starts with K and then decided "Screw it, we'll just name him Kobalt".

They did have a history of giving characters first names and then waiting until later to figure out the last names. Examples:


 * Mercury


 * Emerald


 * Penny


 * Scarlet


 * Sage

And there are still characters who have been credited but don't have last names.
