I found this article an interesting read.  The proposed names were both
descriptive and imaginative.  Although there will be little chance that
they will supplant previous accepted common titles for some pieces. 
There
are a few which may find some use.

As to the word 'triagonal', it is a compression of 'tri-diagonal' and
has become the accepted descriptive for the move in 3D Chess which
involves the change along three axis.  It has been in use for many
decades, and even appears in several dictionaries.  Albeit noted as a
vulgar form.
