This was the naming scheme used in Warty. However, this is even more
confusing for novice users, so gnome-vfs now changed the names.

Not right now. You really have to label your USB devices and hard disk
partitions to get better names. I doubt that there will be another
method in the future, partition labels are exactly for this purpose
after all.
