With Mesmero, that's because some of them are "What If?" realities, which were exactly 616 up until a point in time, which would mean he would have the same name. For those who don't, that's because they're vastly different from 616 (like X-Campus), and unless specified, there's nothing to say that they have the same name as the 616 version.

And with Whiplash, the reason it's specified as Whiplash within parenthesis, is to specify that it's not Crimson Dynamo, the same reason "Anton Vanko (Earth-616)" is suggested to have Crimson Dynamo within parenthesis.
