I hate the name, too. Do I spell out macaroni or not? Do I use the full word “and” or just “n”? Do I allow my phone to automatically capitalize Mac or do I take the extra minute to correct it? It’s my son’s favorite food so I feel like I’m always typing it out and it causes a lot of stress in my life.
Rule of thumb: If the person who reads the message can understand it, you're good to go.

Yep, Wittgenstien has us covered.
What if you substitute in a different type of pasta? Then you get to all kinds of weirdness. Farfalle and cheese? Penne and cheese? Campanelle and cheese? Rotini? Rigatoni? Fideo? sigh
I’ll just start calling it cheese noodles.
Fatty noods
Lol me and my wife make "buttery noods" a lot.
Let's reduce the confusion a bit more and roll it back to the base components, cow wheat.
I was trying to explain to my 10 year old that every noodle has it's own individual name and the explanation stated at 'your a smart kid how do you not get this?' And ended at 'Holy shit this dosen't make any fucking sense why are we naming every permutation of noodle'
This one's name is Chester, and that one is Rubie, NO! don't eat that one! that's the leader!
I think because most of the names are just literal descriptors in the language of origin? At least some are. Like Farfalle for example is butterfly in Italian. Fusilli are little spindles Conchiglie are shells Conchiglioni are Big shells.
Most of the names are more or less just stating what it looks like.
"what kind of pasta do you want with your sauce...I dunno I guess the big shell lookin ones." is pretty much what we are saying.
Cheesy pasta in our house. I rarely buy actual macaroni coz there are so many other more interesting shapes.

I've never opened a box of KD and had to substitute the noodles. Just saying
It's my daughter's favorite as well. She just refers to it as Mac Cheesy.
Kind of off topic, but when I was a kid I thought it was Macaronian cheese. Like it was from the little-known country, Macaronia.
just watch the burger king mac and cheetos commercial 45 times and be thankful you got to live
