Most of the new names are likely the product of the CPC war-room (or what's left of it).   You can see from the comments that the CPC and its supporters feel that they can simply do what they did pre-election ("Trudy", "Junior", etc), except THIS time it will work.

The Globe's comment boards are a very small representation of Canada.   Despite what the CPC Partisans desperately want you to believe, all polling data shows that they are as far removed from getting back into Govt as they were a year ago.    Continuing the same tactics which disgusted the general electorate will not get them back in favour in a hurry either.   Like Harper, they are tone deaf to criticism.   They never learn.
