While I agree with this in principle, I think for instances where a
question like this pops up at least once a week just on this list, it
might be worth it to just bite the bullet and go along with the herd.

I understand that when the ClamAV (as it often does) discovers a worm
before there's a common name for it, that it's not just inconvenient, it's
impossible to choose the name that everyone else will eventually use.

But when something is this much of a phenomenon, why not just change the
name?  I know it's been done for other worms in the past.
