I personally don't see the problem with the naming. Alternating current flows back and forth, direct current flows only one way.
I understand what you're trying to say about not being able to have negative current. Amps are amps after all. But like voltage there is an argument to be made that negative amps do exist, and merely represent the amplitude at which current is flowing from positive to negative as opposed to flowing from negative to positive.
