In fact, there are quite a few names involving Condorcet methods: Ranked Pairs/Tideman Kemeny-Young Raynaud Schulze Smith Copeland Of all of them, for something that needs a good name, I think Tideman is a good name. So you might as well use it 'as is' as a public method. It is also one step better than "Plain Condorcet". Sure, there are two variants of Tideman, margins and "winning votes". But those are just details. There are many variants of flu, some worse than others. But people usually use just the basic term flu.
