There's no evidence in the OP that the name is unclear enough to be changed.

I get that the name is supposed to be a pun on "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," but given that the trope is about a character so impressed with someone else that they try to become them, the lack of the actual word "imitation" is rather jarring, especially since it's not actually part of the trope that the person imitated finds it "irritating."
