Fun names are OK, but only if they don't introduce ambiguity. In this case the change wasn't so much anti-fun as anti-ambiguity.

"Microsoft Regional Director" is not a job title. It is an award that Microsoft gives out only to non-employees. You might think the award has a confusing name, and you would be correct. What you cannot be correct in asserting is
