Why did they change the Lightning Cutter's name to Chidori?


Initially they referred to Kakashi's move as Lighting Cutter (Raikiri), but
then they stopped calling it that and called it Chidori from then on. Any
specific reason for this? Seems really odd to change a move's name after
establishing it as something else.




The magic of [wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Lightning_Cutter):

> The Lightning Cutter is an enhanced and concentrated form of the Chidori
> with the same effects and drawbacks. According to Might Guy, it gained its
> name after Kakashi split a bolt of lightning with it. Because the Chidori is
> already powerful on its own, the Lightning Cutter requires better chakra
> control, which is exemplified in its appearance. The Chidori appears as
> simply a mass of white electrical chakra in the user's hand, while the
> Lightning Cutter is more focused (and blue in the anime).

**tl;dr:** It's still a Chidori but when Kakashi's using it, it's more refined
and famed for cutting a lightning bolt ergo dubbed Raikiri.
