It's funny that todays astronomers still give them wild names from: Space tornados, rubber bands, flux tubes. I think this is just good old marketing, or just denial of the only thing that can cause a magnetic field to form. Electrical current.
No Alex, it's not a denial of anything. It also takes a magnetic field to generate an electric current...remember your high school physics.

As far as the names goes, you can call them anything you like. That's neither here nor there.
