Why can common name cause confusion?

Because "common names" are not common at all. For example, the Promoxis annularis's "common name" is White Crappie (a game fish). However, where I grew up, in central Louisiana, it was called a White Perch. If I used the term White Perch here in Virginia, it would mean something entirely different to anglers here. Still further south in Louisiana, Cajuns call the the fish a Sac-au-Lait (French for "sack of milk"). Other names for the White Crappie (which may include the closely related species Promoxis nigromaculatus - Black Crappie) are Papermouth, Calico Bass, and Specks.
