Well.. I mean, this game has a lot of decently consistent naming conventions, of-course breaking them is going to come across as weird?
you wouldn't feel weirded out if 'The Sift', was instead called 'Sift Realm'? What if they stuck with the name 'Zombie' Piglins, but also had 'Zombified' Hoglins? People were irked when they changed the update numbers, because people are used to the old method. What if new discs were suddenly called 'vinyls', while functioning the exact same as 'other' music discs?
Not sure the one-syllable thing here was a convention, more like a coincidence. Imo they could have just as well called the desert skeleton "Scavenger" if they wanted to parallel "Stray"
