I'm extremely neurotypical and I also don't care what things are named. People who get hung up on this are bikeshedding, commenting about murderFS for twenty years and holding back genuine innovations because of their thin skin and lack of actual inclination to talk about technical details.
The corollary is that naming is important in the adoption and proliferation of a technology. So public image is a concern technology devlopers should be on top of.

you're still not making the attempt; it requires imagining being that person. my point is very simple and obvious: having to constantly be presented with the name of your abuser is painful.
If you have to imagine it then this is concern trolling.
Is concern trolling newspeak for expressing empathy?

His kids probably bear that same name though, don't they?

I don't see the relation between the country where they live and them changing their names. I couldn't find any news to that effect either. Seems like a bit of a stretch.
