Personally, I think the naming should be like this:
For parts with axle holes, use the Liftarm designation
e.g. Technic Liftarm 1 x 11.5 Double Bent for part 32009 and Technic
Liftarm 1 x 3 Thin with Click Rotation Hinge Half Socket for part 41679 and
so on.

For a the thick straight beams with no axleholes like 32278, call them e.g.
  Technic Beam Rounded 1 x 15 Straight (Rounded to prevent confusion with
the  Techinc Brick xxx with holes)
A part like 32526 can be renamed to Technic Beam Rounded 3 x 5 L Shape

A part like 32017 can be renamed to Technic Halfbeam 1 x 5
