Yes, that's true, though, for example my father is a mouse-centric desktop user
- he doesn't search for files to find the file manager, but he looks in the
menu and scrolls through it looking for an application with that name. That's
also a reason why more visible descriptions won't completely solve the issue -
my father still wouldn't find the application, he doesn't want to read all app
descriptions to find what he needs.

Names in desktop entries can be translated, so that wouldn't be a problem. :)

The analogy also works for me - the application menu shows "Files" as name of
the application (you ask for the coke) and Dolphin is opened (he brings you a
pepsi).
