Can phone and telephone variants get corrected? Are these names given by TLG?

If you really want to go down that road, you can request a name change for each
part here:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=P

however, the decorated parts name are generally decided by the volunteer contributor,
not TLG. As a result the names are (somewhat) subjective.

With so many ways to search for decorated parts - by colour, year released, by
specific item number, by set etc. I’m not sure that it’s worth the effort to
make them match.
