Create a new method with a 'good' name and copy (or, if you can, refactor) the old method to it. Then change the 'bad' name method to just call the 'good' name method and add an attribute of Deprecated / Obsolete (depending on the language and environment). Then you can use the 'good' name and the minor overhead will only be felt by the old users.

I have often wanted a feature to alias / synonym a method / routine. The only environment that I use that has this feature is SQL Server.
