This is all very well thought out and I think for the most part is true that what the original creator wanted should be respected.

Sometimes the creator comes up with a stupid name.
Sometimes cultural influence is simply more powerful than the Creator’s original intent. Exhibit A: everyone calls it “The Bean” and not “Cloud Gate” as named by the artist. Not an acronym, but I still think cultural influence should be considered.

Yeah, “human spider” wouldn’t have caught up well either.
