I'm about to commit blasphemy, or something. And creating an excuse for people who most likely deserve no excuse....
If you read the novels (which don't have a Booth), Temperance is regularly called Tempe. That's how she's known. 'Temperance' is the unusual one in the books. So I suppose it's feasible that while the books and series are different (and hello, Booth isn't in the books) authors may well be extrapolating from the books.

But yeah, not so much of an excuse.
