Your point, while it may be valid, is irrelevant.  The Board already
agreed on these names.  If you would like to have them changed, ask for
it to be discussed (again) at a Board meeting.  Or have it added to the
FESCo meeting if you would like to see their opinion on the matter and
have them go back to the Board if the decision differs from the current
state.
