From what I understand the charge is called 'charge' because when you do it, it looks kinda like you are 'charging up' the pen. Also you can use the charge to give the pen momentum( energy) to let you do the next trick so in a way you really are charging it.
P.S.: Under charge on wikipeida. "A pen spinning trick where the pen makes conic rotations between two fingers"

Then again I'm no expert. That's just how I see it.

Since Charge and Sonic are similar, I figured that Sonic was named first for the Sega character and Charge was named for the spinning motion that Sonic the Hedgehog does before shooting off across the screen.
...but maybe not. :badidea:

I think it was just randomly chosen, because it sounds cool. Who created it anyway, if they're still active maybe somebody can ask them.

Hideaki is the one of the earliest Pen Spinners around. He started Pen Spinning around 20 years ago.
