I'm pretty sure "Aligned" wasn't meant to be the actual name of the tfp/wfc/etc. continuity group either, but it wound up getting used that way. People are probably gonna just keep calling it "Evergreen" until another name gets put on it, whether they know it doesn't mean that or not, just so they have something to call it.
It's kinda the same problem with the so-called "GDO-series" from 2012. You know, the first Asia-exclusive series, later imported by TRU? Turned out the range didn't have an official name at all, and "GDO" just stood for Hasbro's "Global Development Organization", the same department responsible for the Cyber series if I may add. But we needed a distinctive name, so "GDO" stuck...
So yeah, when Hasbro releases a new range without a special name, under the current and/or generic line, we get a bit... twitchy at times in finding something unique to call it. But things get really fun when it re-uses an older line name, especially "Robots in Disguise". Ugh...
