I am reminded today* that there is (yet another) term which can be applied here: euonym - [from Gk eu, good + onym, name] a name well-suited to the person, place or thing named
*whilst updating the wwftd dictionary, to wit
the worthless word for the day is: euneirophrenia
[fr. Gk oneiros, dream + eu-, good + -phrenia]
/u NI ro FRE ni uh//
rare peace of mind after a pleasant dream
