Terminology can affect mindset, without a doubt.
Another speed, Vc, or "cruising speed" is used in many airworthiness standards to define a "maximum" at which level flight is routinely done, and then is used for various airworthiness considerations. But I've come across plenty of instances, particularly in the USA, where people have read that, and assume it's a target and then thrash their engines to death trying to cruise at what is really just a structural maximum term.
It might be best to just call them Va, Vc, Vh, etc. rather than give them fuller names, then anybody using them is less likely to make incorrect assumptions about their significance based upon the name.
