- Voynich certainly never called it the Voynich MS. He called it his Roger Bacon cipher MS, or sometimes just simply his cipher MS
- Calling it the Mondragone MS woud be wrong since we don't know for certain that it was ever in Villa Mondragone, and there is good reason to doubt it. We do know for certain that it was owned by Voynich

Also, I can't see what could be wrong with a Polish name
