I thought it a wonderful commentary on americans that they needed to
change the title of the book/movie. :)

Not Americans. American business, or perhaps even just the publishers. Many, many of us woulr have preferred to leave it alone (and deliberately sought out the British edition when possible).

using the term for UK readers.
'proper name' indeed ...
