Perhaps wars should just be named like Storm Systems and Hurricanes. But just like storms, not any old kerfuffle should be granted a name (storms have to register a sustained wind speed of 39mph) they would have to bloody to earn their name. Like storms, they would be named in alphabetical sequence to keep things simple. Consider the chronological listing of wars via Wikipedia from the onset of WWI to the Russian Civil War with my suggested name changes:
You get the idea. WWI - Alvin's War
The Banana Wars - War of the... well, this one actually works.
The Maritz Rebellion - War of Carl
The Kaocen Revolt - War of Doug
The Easter Rising- Esther's War
National Protectin War- Ferdinands War (salt in the wound?)
Arab Revolt - Gary's Rebellion
The February Revolution- Hank's War
The October Revolution- Ian's Massacre
The Russian Civil War- The Jenny Uprising
