Naming objects

Myself I dislike the use the common names of celestial objects, for one thing you have to have a very fertile imagination to see any likeness between the name and the object. Also it could lead to confusion much better to have say M83 rather than Whirlpool, southern Whirlpool etc.
Anyway that's my beef!
