I am thinking, for example, of Sarbanes-Oxley Act or Volstead Act in the US, wherease I think WP:COMMONNAME they would not have been called that even at first reading as Bills. It is a UK/US distinction, I think (I am not sure about Canada or Aus or other English Law jurisdictions what is more common). The US has an occasional tendency to name Bills (and so Acts, when passed) for acronyms (or backronyms), such as the PATRIOT Act, which the UK rarely if ever does. As a UK resident living in another EU country, with some political nous, I have been following this rather tawdry saga of Brexit more diligently than many, but even I have never heard this be the WP:COMMONNAME. I have not seen it on any news broadcast from BBC, ITN, Sky News, Euronews, I don't get the UK press here.
It was an extremely unlikely, WP:SURPRISEing title to begin with. Bills should be named with their names. Not some arbitrary naming of their proposers.
