It's "irritating" because it's not a noun, it's an adjective. The shifted what? Or (in this case) it could be a verb. They shifted what? At any rate, it's not a noun.
Hm. Seems like a perfectly fine name to me, as it's descriptive. Better than a nonsensical made-up name...like "The Firlendun" or something that tells you nothing about them. To me, that would be the cheap way out.

Obviously I can't disagree with you being irritated, though, so I guess we'll just disagree on the issue.
