As the original proponent of a Dynamic* naming scheme, I'll note that I eventually decided I didn't like it for the same reason I already didn't like naming schemes using either the word "local" or the word "frame": they all suggest a coupling to the synchronous call stack that deliberately isn't part of the proposal.

However, there is still some connection with the frame, though it's subtle. In particular the LC (using PEP v3 terms) for a generator is tied to that generator's frame (it becomes the top of the EC stack whenever that generator is resumed). I don't think we should call this out in the naming scheme though.
