I'm not quite sure where this comment comes from - what I am saying has nothing to do with the names; I use the conventional names for the natural reasons. Perhaps you meant the potential ambiguity of terms?
I agree there are sometimes unfortunate consequences of transliterating mathematical terms (e.g. "field", "smooth", "increasing") this potential for confusion with a lay audience (cf the famous (true?) story of a senator objecting the funding of "complex" analysis - was this your reference?). However, the alternative is worse, and peppers any conversation with intractable jargon.
Do complex numbers have anything to do with complexity?
