Now there is word that the Canadian Girl Scouts organization is dropping the name "Brownies", which, maybe for obvious reasons, even though the etymology has nothing to do with skin color.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownies_(Scouting)

Originally the girls were called Rosebuds, but were renamed by Lord Baden-Powell after the girls had complained that they did not like their name. Their name comes from the story "The Brownies" by Juliana Horatia Ewing, written in 1870. In the story two children, Tommy and Betty, learn that children can be helpful brownies instead of being lazy boggarts.

So, maybe not being known as a type of Goblin makes some sense?
