I'm not arguing for any name in particular. I have argued against some notions about names that I think are incorrect. Broadly, I think it's easy for insiders to incorrectly use themselves as proxies for what regular users will think. That's a very common mistake in my field, so I spoke up. But I said before and I say again that am avoiding having an opinion on whatever the best name is. It's a lot of work to do it properly, especially for me as an insider, and I don't have time for it right now. I'm not suggesting that people are wasting their time working on this, and in fact think just the opposite. I think it's great, and supported bringing this up for community discussion.
