Just my two cents, but first of all, English has lots of different words for snow as well. ("snow" or "flurries" or "a blizzard" or "snowbanks" or "slush" etc.) Secondly I'm no expert, but I'm sure that our society is not the only one that has such women. So to give her a name means that there's a way to talk about her - a beginning point for conversation about the situation's consequences and what to do about it. I think it might be more shameful if she had no name and was therefore undiscussed.
