Yes. During the debate over same-sex marriage, I was asked why not give these couples all the legal benefits but ameliorate the opponents by just not calling it marriage. I responded no: partly because most of them are opposed to the benefits too; and as for the term, I refuse to let the bigots set the agenda.
