Most disorders/diseases are too complex to have a short name that accuratley describes what they are so I don't think a disorder being 'poorly' named is that big of a deal.
The WHO discourages this because people will start associating the name with the disease. Which sucks if you happen to have this name. See Tourette's, or Chagas disease.
