Personally, I like the idea that the name would have changed if K.A. had managed to catch that detail. That would mean every Yeerk would know exactly what their place was in the hierarchy of their entire species - and so out there, somewhere, there is the lowest ranked Yeerk ever. And they are never having a good day. That sort of small detail emphasizes how much drive and ambition the Yeerks have as a species, which meshes neatly with their theme and dilemma of a need for control and conquest.
