Welcome to the wonderful world of "common" names, which is why so many of us try to stick as much as possible to latin. All of those names (and I will bet a few more) are locally correct. If you really want to get confused here are some of the names for Lampropeltis getula getula;

Common Kingsnake
Chain King
Eastern King
Eastern Chain King
Thunder snake
Thunder and lightening snake
Swamp wamper (my favorite!)
