Welcome to the forum @faddaf
I agree that it sounds like this is not an ideal common name for the genus. For issues with taxon names on iNat, it’s best to raise a flag on the taxon (which you can do from the taxon page). You can add your reasoning and curators can help or offer explanations.
You can also add a common name to a taxon if it is more appropriate and in use elsewhere. Instructions for how to do this are here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-to-add-a-common-name-to-a-taxon/9792
