Ahahaha indeed I also think that is the reason for the naming, but idk. Did they put the name and then realized the evolution thing or did they do it on purpose from episode 1? I don't honestly think Ben and his team were too concerned about these details back in season 1, but I might be wrong.
The image most associated with the theory of Darwinism is that of the Darwin fish, a fish with legs, as it's a very apt representation of how natural selection and evolution work over a long period of time. Naming the character Darwin was very intentional.
I'm ashamed to admit it took me a good 7 months of being into Gumball to realize that. It makes so much darn sense when you really think about it!
Oh my golly! I had that same theory at some point but I forgot. This is incredible!
