I agree that the terms like pseudo force and fictitious force are unfortunate. They imply that forces appearing in rotational frames of reference are not real. But they are real. Referring to discussed examples, I suggest the term "rot-force" (rotational frame force). It would probably be less puzzling that the term virtual force. Actually, the term centrifugal force is just as good as rot-force.
