According to the DigimonWiki

Etymologies
Agumon (Black) (アグモン(黒))
Official romanization given by the Digimon Reference Book and used in most Japanese and some American English[8] media. Some media leave out the "(Black)".

(Ja:) Aguagu (あぐあぐ), the onomatopoeia for biting.
(Ja:) Kuro (黒 lit. "Black").
BlackAgumon (ブラックアグモン)
Name used in the Japanese version of Digimon Rumble Arena 2 and most American English media.

(En:) Black.
(Ja:) Aguagu (あぐあぐ), the onomatopoeia for biting.

I like Black Agumon best out of this--separating the words as they are in Japanese, but putting color before species as is done in English..

Agumon digivolves from Koromon, while Black Agumon digivolves from Tsumemon, two different In Training digimon. That makes this more of convergent evolution.

Maybe... Who else agrees I should flip it?

Come to think of it, we don't have a Greymon (Blue) tag or some variant of either, though we do have art of it under Greymon

I think e6 settled on BlackAgumon because that name came first in English.
