It's strange that this creature is a Maelstrom Djinn and yet doesn't use Maelstrom.
Well, they would need to change its primary Profession to do that, as (nearly) no non-boss monsters have dual profession skills. Besides that, though, Maelstrom is a pretty generic word dealing with water, vortexes, swirling, chaos, etc...it's a noun, a thing in RealLife(tm), as well as the skill. You are right, though - to prevent minor confusion, ANet could have chosen a different name and it would not have made much difference to the monster.
