The aim assistants name was changed to be closer to the original name from the workshop which was the aim bot. That name, aim bot, was changed to mister sentry most likely because of the negative connotation.
The “Tamrielic Relic” is such a better item name than “Dragonborn Helm”. It fits TF2’s naming convention and gives the item some personality beyond being ‘the Skyrim helmet’
I’ll never forget when jungle inferno released and the update page labeled the hot hand as the slap attack. It’ll forever be known as the slap attack to me
For a while after Dead head's rename, you couldn't buy the mask from the market, as it would just redirect you to the Skullcap listings. It got fixed after a year
Also in the spanish version of the game the backburner had the name "El Dragón" (the dragon) but after jungle inferno added the Dragon's Fury, in spanish La Furia del Dragón, they changed the name not only to avoid redundance, but to also match the english name (Tuestalomos).
The reason why Mister Sentry was changed to Aim Assistant was because the original submission was named "Aimbot Assistant" so I'm assuming Valve just wants to avoid the word Aimbot on an item, so one of the item creators emailed Eric for the rename.

Aim Assistant is definitely an upgrade, but yeah, Tamrielic Relic was a way better name.

I really like the old name for the dragonborn helm because its a reference to all elder scrolls games and not just Skyrim

Did you know the beggers bazooka was originally doe's dumpster device
Me and my Skyrim brain going like: Iron Helmet.
There's also the Potassium Bonnet, which spent at least a few years with an extra T at the end, making it Bonnett.

I think it should be called the Pyromanncers mask
Call it a hunce, but the Tamrielic Relic was probably changed to make the Skyrim reference more obvious to those who didn't play the game as much.
"mad milk" was changed from "man milk"
In spanish the backburner was originally called "la furia del dragon" or "the dragon's furry"
