Fix naming when creating component variants

I am bored to death of having to rename my components whenever I add a variant.
Why does Figma decide to mess up my naming structure when I make a variant?
It splits whatever carefully crafted name structure using slashes to a complete mess.

The component category becomes the component name, the existing variant inherits the name of the component minus the variant and a random name is assigned to the newly created variant. This doesn’t happen by accident. Someone programmed this and thought it was fine. A bit of attention to detail please?

What about a more logical: The component keeps its name (doh!) and the variants are assigned variant 1 and variant 2 as names…
