Is there a correct way to refer to "orphan" blocks?
Pieter Wuille suggests extinct blocks:


  The first is perhaps best called extinct blocks. These are blocks that were produced by building on an block that is no longer the active tip of the chain. Some nodes may have considered it to be the best block at some point, but they switched to another chain which does not contain the relevant block anymore. They are valid, verified, and their ancestry up to the genesis block is fully known - they're just not currently 'active'. They are sometimes called stale blocks (typically in the context of mining software realizing it built on old data) or orphan blocks. The latter name [orphans] originates from the fact that payouts from extinct blocks are denoted as "orphaned" in the reference client (referring to the fact that their coinbase transactions are now orphaned).
