Rails calls themselves MVC: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html#the-mvc-a...

I don't see the issue with calling it "ASP.NET MVC". The Visual Basic event-driven style of programming is fundamentally different from MVC. Calling it MVC provides context.

Would you have preferred they come up with a "cute" name that doesn't explain what it is?

Rails claims to implement the MVC design patterns. It does not claim to be named "Ruby on Rails MVC".
