Why use it for a piece with the Tamerlane Giraffe move, which has nothing horse- (i.e. Knight-)like in its move?
If there were a hippopotamus piece, would you also expect it to move like a knight? He chose the name of hippogriff because of this piece's similarity to the griffon, as these two mythical beasts are similar.
If no one uses the name anywhere, or only for different purposes, why promote it here?
On the few pages where the name is used for a piece, I do not see it being used for this piece. I don't really like the idea of a page featuring two different pieces. Maybe we should have a giraffe2.html page for the Tamerlane Giraffe and mention the hippogriff name as Brown's suggestion for its name.
