Thank you for all the comments on this (including those that veered off-topic).
I like the "Cross Block" designation, especially as this is a common theme in
the LEGO descriptions. It has the added benefit that it is shorter than "Joiner
Perpendicular", leaving more space for qualification if needed. So I will go
ahead with:
6536.dat Technic Cross Block 1 x 2 (Axle/Pin)
32184.dat Technic Cross Block 1 x 3 (Axle/Pin/Axle)
32068.dat Technic Cross Block 1 x 3 (Axle/None/Pin)
32291.dat Technic Cross Block 2 x 2 (Axle/Twin Pin)
41678.dat Technic Cross Block 2 x 2 Split (Axle/Twin Pin)
42003.dat Technic Cross Block 1 x 3 (Axle/Pin/Pin)
32557.dat Technic Cross Block 2 x 3 (Pin/Pin/Twin Pin)
44489.dat Technic Cross Block 2 x 2 Bent 90 (Pin/Pin/Pin)
63869.dat Technic Cross Block 3 x 2 (Axle/Triple Pin)

| With almost all the "Technic Axle Joiner" parts on the Parts Tracker, I'd like to take the opportunity to rationalise the part descriptions which have developed over time as these parts have appeared. Currently we have: 6536.dat Technic Axle Joiner (...) (15 years ago, 22-Jul-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)
