...and just to make sure that any possible aversion is, er, averted, they have renamed their 737 MAX to "737-8200" (and rely on journalists publishing press releases without research to improve its reception: https://www.essexlive.news/news/essex-news/stansted-airport-...).
That was always the model designation though, 737-MAX is just branding. And 8200 is just one of its specific versions.
For example the 737-NG was called 737-600 through 737-900 (different versions)
They did indeed drop the MAX branding and replaced it with the numeric designation because MAX got a bad name after their screwup. But they didn't invent the new name, it was always there.
