Yeah, trying to get these things right is an impossible task.  The
only thing I've ever seen that's sane is to just name things after the
first person in the code base to use them rather than trying to guess
ahead of time how similar products with similar marketing name will be
in the future.

...agree that even if you don't do the rename here that updating the
description would be nice.
