I pretty much think the same way. Having funky title like Jedi or Ninja may sound cool but it is not digestible for the outside world.

I being a Web developer / software engineer prefer being called a Software Engineer cause it is all about software engineering that I deal with and it doesn't always have to do with the web. Being called a programmer narrows my skill set, Cause it is more about finding solution, designing, managing projects and a lot more then just coding/programing.

So I love being called a Software Engineer :)

This. Also feel the same way about "developer" especially when I see people who only do HTML mockup being called "web developers."

True!
