2) Or she can go with Frost, sure DC superhero girls did that because, "Oh noes we can't say da word kill or death!" But it'd still be a pretty cool name 1) Same on the wallpaper. Looks good and is a nice balance of the four shows. Not to mention the maless and females that are the closer friends are on the same side XD

2) Again, I'd be fine with them just going with Frost. But seriously, DCSHG likely did that for censoring purposes, like Teen Titans did with Deathstroke. This is a show where we seen people get stabbed, impaled, shot (with bulles) disinterated, turned into some Lord of the Rings esque monsters and then dragged away like by spirits like something out of that "Ghost" from 1990, and yes, killed​. Killer Frost just fits, wether she kills people or not. Is Batman an actual bat-man hybrid? Does Speedy have super speed? Sara Lance's White Canary mantle completely makes no sense. And Vixen literally got her name because Cisco thought she was "a total fox" and she just went with it. Kir the Wizard's "killer body" explanation doesn't sound that far off.

The point is, superheros in many cases have names that don't necessarily embody them but just sound cool. I don't see why there's a need for it to be any different for Caitlin, especially if they already mentioned the name in-show.
