This list is by no means exhaustive. If you need examples of real names which disprove any of the above commonly held misconceptions, I will happily introduce you to several. Feel free to add other misconceptions in the comments, and refer people to this post the next time they suggest a genius idea like a database table with a first_name and last_name column.
After dying out as a popular name for Southern women a few decades ago, Charlotte has returned as a popular name in the most liberal states. This graph shows popularity in each state over time, with the states going from most conservative on the top to most liberal on the bottom.

The only time I ever saw a dead name return in fewer than 80 years is when it caught on with a totally different demographic (Jeremiah is another one of these, which after losing steam in the early nineties in the Northwest, has now gotten hot in the Deep South).
Genders also get jealous when the other has too popular a name. Each of the following names has had the other gender in the Top 1,000 during some stretch of the past (click on a name to see its history with the opposite gender).
In 2021, ESA adopted new policies for insect common names to be accepted into the ESA Common Names of Insects and Related Organisms List. The updated criteria bar names referencing ethnic or racial groups and names that might stoke fear; the policies also discourage geographic references, particularly for invasive species.
The criteria are applied to all newly adopted insect common names, and the Better Common Names Project is tasked with reviewing existing insect common names and guiding adoption of new names to replace those that no longer meet ESA's current common name policies.
In early 2024, the Better Common Names Project sought comment from the entomology community on the possible future selection of alternative common names for nine insect species, as well as volunteers to serve on working groups to study, evaluate, and propose new common names for the selected species. The deadline to submit comments and volunteer was March 31. Learn more.
Entomologists want effective communication with the public, policy makers, and other scientists. Effective communication can help advance science, advance entomology, and increase the flourishing of humans and the environment.
These problematic names perpetuate harm against people of various ethnicities and races, create an entomological and cultural environment that is unwelcoming and non-inclusive, disrupt communication and outreach, and counteract the very purpose of common names.
By participating in the Better Common Names Project and helping to change problematic common names of insects, you will help ensure that insect common names are respectful, inclusive, and descriptive of the insect. Using better common names will increase the effectiveness of communication with the public, enhance the reputation of entomology and entomologists, build a more inclusive discipline, and reduce harm to our members and non-members alike.
Yes, name change proposals have always been accepted. In late 2020, the ESA Common Names Committee proposed rule changes for acceptable common names, which were approved by the ESA Governing Board in March 2021. The new policies bar common names referencing ethnic or racial groups and names that might stoke fear and discourage geographic references. (Read the full policy.) The new policies also apply to proposals to change previously approved common names, as some of the current common names are no longer in accordance with our policies. This project was launched to raise awareness of the new policies and proactively invite proposals to change existing problematic names.
The process is beginning with two common names that contained an ethnic slur (Lymantria dispar and Aphaenogaster araneoides). As indicated above, additional name changes will be suggested by community-led endeavors. While there are thousands of names in the common names database, we don't expect the need to update many of them. The task force initially will seek to form working groups to propose new names for only the most problematic names. The process could then be repeated, or additional proposals for name changes could be submitted ad hoc through the regular process.
The current scope of the project is to address names that are currently contributing to discrimination, exclusion, or harm against people. The task force will not be addressing all names that people could possibly be offended by, but only names that the community flags as being problematic.
ESA's Common Names Committee doesn't choose names for insects. Rather, through adoption into a formal list, ESA recognizes names that are currently in use or that communities would like to use. These names are submitted and then approved or not approved based on set criteria. Just as new names come from the community, name changes should come from the community, as well. We are also eager to have input from native communities and people from an insect's area of origin regarding names of insects.
Only ESA-approved common names can be used in papers published in ESA journals or used in ESA functions or other communications (website, blog, social media, press releases, public policy resources, and more) . Beyond ESA materials and functions, we rely on scientists and the public to use ESA-approved names to communicate most clearly. We can't control what people call insects, and old names may persist in common usage. However, ESA is committed to leading by example and building community engagement for the adoption of new common names that the public will also adopt in time.
We understand there are myriad challenges with changing common names, including education efforts, creation of new materials and resources, and resistance to change among colleagues or some members of the public, just to name a few. While this effort is intended to improve communication about insects, we acknowledge it might first lead to a period of adjustment on the way to this goal. ESA will support both the efforts to propose new names and the ongoing process of encouraging their widespread adoption. This isn't a project for one person or one organization. It's a project for the insect science community. And, together as a community, we can make it a success.
ESA has changed many common names for a variety of reasons. Many of the changes are preserved in the archives of American Entomologist (formerly known as the Bulletin of the Entomological Society of America).
Other societies and institutions have updated names of journals, awards, buildings, graduate programs, and more. Recently, COVID-19 variants have been referred to by Greek letters rather than geographic areas in order to reduce stigma.
Referencing geography in a common name for an insect, in particular for invasive or harmful species, can perpetuate discrimination, xenophobia, and bias against people from the same geographic region. For example, throughout history, immigrants, refugees, or "othered" groups have been compared to insects or referenced in entomological terms, and a large body of scholarship has explored this pattern. For further reading on the topic, see:
ESA is a global society, and increasingly so. Therefore, it's important that the names we call insects are relevant on a global scale; are inclusive of all races, ethnicities, and nationalities; and do not perpetuate harm against people.
The ESA Common Names Committee was given a charge from the ESA President to work with the ESA Diversity & Inclusion Committee to address problematic names in the Common Names of Insects and Related Organisms list. As a result, a joint task force was formed with volunteers from both groups, as well as some at-large ESA members who previously expressed interest in addressing problematic common names.
In 2022, the Better Common Names Project was honored as a Gold Award recipient in the Power of Associations Awards by the American Society of Association Executives. The Power of Associations Awards honor "associations that go above and beyond their everyday mission to undertake initiatives that benefit America and the world." ESA congratulates and thanks everyone in the entomology community who has contributed in ways both large and small to this initiative.
