    The condition is called “dwarfism” in medical textbooks.

      Sure, but there are loads of medical conditions with less than ideal names (a particularly severe structure is caused by a gene literally named Sonic the hedgehog). The clinical name might be important in a clinical setting but that’s not where most of us interreact with people. I’m just going with what I’ve known people to prefer.
