Working with QA department (QA for company processes, not IT) on creating a change history list in SharePoint. Name, fields, etc, simple stuff and all working fine for the past two days.
Today I get a request to change the name of the list because its the same name as another list on a separate SharePoint site (used exactly the same way).

Me: "I can, but no one really cares about the list name. Besides, it serves the same functionality as the XYZ site, so the same name would be consistent."
QAMgr1: "Go ahead and rename the list if its easy."
QAMgr2: "Agree! We already have that list in the XYZ system, we do not need to confuse people."

NOBODY IS GOING TO BE CONFUSED!

I would never, ever want to hear this from someone if there is a blunt object within my reach.

User: “I drove the forklift off the dock because I was confused by the SharePoint list name. Sorry.”
