    Because having a weird name makes you a target for bullying. Also the name of a loud and annoying beetle is worse.

      In my experience having a common name has that effect too. I feel like every name has the potential for bullies to target it. Also this is only one subcategory of beetle (that most people likely don’t know) if I read it correctly.
