ISO 6429 (and consequently ISO/IEC 10646 Section 11) calls these characters: SINGLE-SHIFT TWO SINGLE-SHIFT THREE PRIVATE USE ONE PRIVATE USE TWO <http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-048.pdf> Changing their names to "SINGLE-SHIFT 2" or "SINGLE-SHIFT-2" etc is surely contrary to the whole point of the exercise.
