Comment (by zabrocki):
I'm not super keen on just the name 'complete,' at least not as an 'only'
option. To go with what the textbooks say (since they set they tend to
motivate the notation in other references) : to describe the generators
h_n, Macdonald uses "complete symmetric function" (but then uses the word
'complete' only rarely elsewhere in the book), Sagan and Stanley uses
"complete homogeneous symmetric functions". When I write and I shorten
'complete homogeneous' I go with 'homogeneous' and I can provide lots of
references that uses this name. The short name 'h' to me is short for
'homogeneous.' While I don't mind using both names, I would vote against
restricting to the name 'complete' only.
