There really isn't a need for the name to accurately describe the event though.
If we use face turning octahedron as the name, pretty much everyone is going to refer to it as FTO. As a result, if someone hears FTO, they will either know what it is or they won't, so the whole the-name-describes-the-event goes out the window for the most part.
However, names can be interesting and still convey some idea of the puzzle without directly describing it, such as square-1 and pyraminx. Square-1 somewhat references bringing the cube back into cubeshape, and pyraminx has a bit of a description of itself as a name.
I think FTO is fine, but why not give it a fun name like Octant? It somewhat gives an idea of the puzzle and feels similar enough to other event names.
anyway, it's not like there's a right or wrong answer, nor does it really matter since it's not an official event. I just thought I would put an idea out before we permanently settle on just a boring set of 3 letters!
