To some extent, I think that what those who dislike effective altruism dislike isn’t that term, but rather the set of ideas it expresses. As such, replacing it with another term that’s supposed to express broadly the same set of ideas (like “priorities” or “global priorities”) might make less of a difference than one might think at first glance (though it likely makes some difference).
What might make a greater difference, for better or worse, is choosing a term that expresses a quite different set of ideas. E.g. I think that people have substantially different reactions to the term “longtermism”.
