Why mess with names like this at all when functional equivalents exist 
*now* in .desktop files using Name and GenericName, e.g. for mozilla:
Name=Mozilla
GenericName=Web Browser

The display of these are (user) configurable (at least in KDE) whereas 
hardcoding changes as you suggest certainly are not.
