If you suggested a better name, then that's good enough for me.

Unless it violates one of the already-expressed naming constraints or
the bounds of good taste, I don't think we ought to do more than
recommend that folks choose decent driver names.  If they still
refuse, and adamantly want to use an awkward name even after getting
contrary advice, then I think our work is done.
