It's not that, it's that it's the most central of the several stations in Milton Keynes. Before MKC was built, probably the best station for MK was Bletchley, which had intercity services; this new station was named to highlight the fact it was a more central station for MK. (Of course it doesn't help that there's an area of MK called Central, which isn't where the station is.)
Telford Central is the same; before it was built Telford had two or three pre-existing stations; it needed a new central station and it was named thus.
I beg to differ Milton Keynes Central Stn is in fact in Milton Keynes Central. The area surrounding is known thus. I lived there for twenty three years.
I believe there was a plan to rename Wolverton " Milton Keynes North"
and Bletchley "MIlton Keynes South". But the residents of those areas didn't want to lose any more of their identity.
