That's how it should be done!

Get renaming this Verreaux and Blakiston birds the same way!

I think it's fine that way, and respectful.

I could imagine that the scientists in question didn't have any delusions of having made groundbreaking discovery, more like cataloguing what needs to be catalogued.

But trust the media to put that sort of spin on it - and excited social media posters to pick up on it.

What sort of spin? Not sure I'm following what you're saying.
