Default Just HAVE to ask

I have been wondering for over a year now and I just HAVE to ask: Who is renaming all these orchids and how the heck to they come up with all these bizarre names? To me, the most challenging thing in growing orchids is knowing and pronouncing the doggone names. I just need to understand what the deal is here. Wuttiphanara Manoonya? Myrmecatavola? Phaiocalanthe? Guarechea? Haraella Retrocalla ? These are all in my collection and I haven't the foggiest notion of how to pronounce them. I usually just give them my own common names (Joe, Sue, Mike) so I know what to call them when I share pictures or talk about them. Please school me on orchid names before my head explodes.
