Most disorders/diseases are too complex to have a short name that accuratley describes what they are so I don’t think a disorder being ‘poorly’ named is that big of a deal.
Most of my mates are some flavour, colour and level of Wombleypoo, but tbqh I’ve never considered whether - like star signs - there may be incompatibilities there
The WHO discourages this because people will start associating the name with the disease. Which sucks if you happen to have this name. See Tourette’s, or Chagas disease.

At least come up with a fancy word for it like Wombleypoos or something
And add colours and levels for extra flavour.
They are diagnosed with Green Level 3 Wombleypoos, just keep them away from the level 2’s to avoid the floop scenario!

Oh I think I had that after gelatin fest from the old country
Yeah, this is why I am a fan of naming them after patient zero, or the first to diagnose etc.
