It's up to whoever added the ROMs in the first place, most likely they haven't been noticed, otherwise known as They Just Didn't Care in TVTropes-speak.

Because the software lists generally don't follow anything, they were mostly copy+pasted from other sources such as GoodNES and given short filenames. Why they used mgear2 when the title isn't the same is anyone's guess, it makes as much sense as calling the Midway version of Pac-Man puckmanu.

I am not a fan of the shortened regions e.g. "Euro" either, never mind the fact that there were actually two PAL regions for the NES, with some games not actually being released in both regions (e.g. Aussie Rules Footy is PAL-A only, while Megaman 5 is PAL-B only).
