Wrong.

The "Model Name" varies with geographic region.
It says so in the disclaimer attached by Amazon to each of those model names.

The "Community Model Name" is fixed per model.
"Per Model" in the same sense that packages are "model locked" based on the same internal hardware information.
I will admit that over time, some of our name choices are down-right ugly and there have been heated discussions over those. Even so, we have maintained a greater consistency than even the builders.
