Not necessarily. Bike shedding refers to arguing about trivial issues. Naming can have a huge impact on how something is perceived so I wouldn't call it trivial.

How many regular users have ever heard of terms like IP, TCP or HTTP? Arguing about naming is the very definition of bike shedding and of course it is trivial.
