Chess on a 10x10 Board is not a good name either. Strictly speaking, this is not "Chess" on a 10x10 board. Look at this variant for comparison - Chess on a 12 by 12 Board. It really is Chess on a 12 by 12 board.
You have to understand that there are thousands of chess variants in existence. There are a minimum of a hundred variants like this - chess expanded to a 10x10 board with a few new pieces. Inventing a new one now and trying to give it a generic name as though this is "the" representative game of the genre is not really appropriate.
