Because the class is designed to only support insertion order and not any other sorting why choose a generic name that could also describe a class that supports a different order? I'd prefer encoding the order in the class name, therefore I suggest (Ins|Insertion)(Order|Ordered)Dict, e.g. InsOrderDict. Abbreviating the first group to simply I probably is too confusing because of the use of I as a prefix for interfaces.
