I think it's a good idea to change the name of some diagnoses because another might fit better. Ex: I would be in favor of calling bipolar disorder manic depression again because it's more descriptive and more accurate.
I also would be in favor of changing the name for borderline personality disorder. In this case I think it's a case of accuracy, description, and a bit of stigma as well.
