Yes, and Tails is Kid-Sonic, Amy is Girl-Sonic, Knuckles is Anti-Sonic, Jet is... I still don't know the right term for Jet but he's ____-Sonic as well.
Which is likely why Blaze fans want her to be like a core character. She fits in perfectly, on a conceptual level. The appeal of her character centers so strongly around her relation to Sonic that any fan of her would want her to have that same level of significance that these others do.
