Hi all,
I find the term "timechain" cooler.
In this article at Bitcoin Magazine,
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/bitcoins-blockchain-is-the-timechain
The author argues that "timechain" more accurately describes Bitcoin because it emphasizes the fact that Bitcoin is a chronological ledger of transactions.
Moreover, one can argue that some software developers find that blockchain is a bad data structure. I mean, a blockchain does have features for its original purpose to solve the double-spending problem in a distributed system, but for general computing or development of distributed applications, it's better to use something else.
P.S.->Thanks to the members who supported freedom to express my opinion in the "I don't like the term 'crypto'" thread.
P.S.1-> In software engineering, it is considered a good practice to keep a glossary, that's why I'm thinking about those Bitcoin community jargons.

There's a reason why it is called the blockchain. As we know bitcoin is based on Proof of Work algorithm.
That proof of work is then added to a block and chained together with other blocks.
This is why it is called as the block chain based on the work that has been done to mine bitcoins.
I guess no other word would be as perfect as the word blockchain.
