As to the question of if it should be done?
Normally I'm one to optimize, so much so that premature optimization is something I must stand vigilant for. And I do understand how adding names to a standard adds ever so slight a bloat. And I understand there are only ~4K shorthand hex colors to assign names to.
But honestly I don't have a problem with this. I'm having a hard time explaining why, but the simplistic way to express it is by saying it is art. Part of the CSS specification has now impacted me emotionally on a deeper level than most art I've seen, especially when you read why it is rebeccapurple and not beccapurple.
No, it isn't perfectly optimized. But there is value in trading spartan utility for beauty, especially when the cost is so low.
Even though I cannot articulate why, given this knowledge I now care more about the CSS sepcifications.
