I wish even agile had a different name, one that isn't so tempting for people to use incorrectly, with no clue that it means something other than "able to change direction quickly". I've heard (very non-technical) people cheerfully volunteer to clients and developers that the project they're involved with is "agile", but they just mean "we have no real plan, anything can change at any time" - they have no concept that there's an actual methodology being implied by what they're saying. I think using a term like "fluid" would have similar results - "we're using a fluid methodology so our project will be able to flow around any obstacle/mould itself to any scenario". On the other hand these ideas spread so well because it seems like they're easy to understand...the first thing you think of when you hear something like Rational Unified Process is men in white coats with pocket protectors.
