The name should be a hint, not a literal one-word description. Unlike you, most people have the intelligence to realize that.
It's difficult to come up with a suggestive name for a spreadsheet, because there is no non-computer equivalent. Microsoft does not bat 100% at the naming game. Something like 60% of their names are good, as contrasted with about 2% of the Free Software world's names. In other words, the original post was pretty much right, for those of us who are not nit-picking literal-minded droids.
