Review proposed name changes from Japan

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a Unicode action item 121-A26 to "Get the emoji working group to review 
the proposed 
name changes in L2/09-370, taking into account the glyph changes in FPDAM8."
• The proposed name changes from Japan are here: 
<http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2009/09370-
n3711.pdf>
• FPDAM8 is here: Go to <http://anubis.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2/WG2/> then click on 
the link for
"N3738  FPDAM8 - Amendment 8" at the top of the table.

My opinion about the name changes in N3711=L2/09-370:

Mostly I am fine with the names either way. Many suggestions are for adding 
"happy" or 
"sad" or "smart" etc. I am ok with adopting most name changes.

Renaming e-326=U+1F606 EXPRESSIONLESS FACE to UNAMUSED FACE is good, as pointed 
out in 
N3713, because of the agreed glyph change seems significant.

e-32E=U+1F60E FACE WITH MASK->SAD FACE WITH MEDICAL MASK: "medical" is good, 
but "sad" 
seems a little off. Maybe "tired" or "downtrodden" or "weary"?

The one suggestion that I don't understand is renaming e-325=U+1F605 from 
EXASPERATED 
FACE to IMPATIENT FACE. I would keep "exasperated" unless convinced otherwise.

I agree with those:

e-321=U+1F601: I agree ANGUISHED is a bit off. If you look at the source 
KDDI="ほえー", it is onomatopoeia that 
suggests the person is tired and whining. WEARY sounds more appropriate for 
this (WHINING might be a good one also).

e-325=U+1F605: I also agree with this in that EXASPERATED is a bit off. The 
sources are KDDI="あせり" literary 
meaning "be hasty", SoftBank="おろおろ” literary meaning someone is off 
balance or upset. both suggest someone is 
not clam, lost his composure and don't know what to do. I am not sure though 
IMPATIENT is the right word.

e-338=U+1F616 & e-335=U+1F1F615. I think "RAISED EYEBROWS" is a bug. For e-338 
the only source from SoftBank 
does not have eyebrows. It has eyes closed in reverse U shape as an expression 
of happy face. The same part is used 
with e-335 Softbank source. However its KDDI source has eyebrows it is not 
something that is characterizing the 
expression. So, removing "RAISED EYEBROWS" is appropriate I think.

e-326=U+1F606. for the same reason Markus mentioned.

I am fine either way for ones that add HAPPY, SAD, etc..
