This was a problem back in the late 1800s/early-mid 1900s (as well as in this era of "heirloom varieties" with nomenclature). I'll point to Peter Henderson's Ponderosa variety vs the "heirloom" name of Brandywine Pink. Genetically, it's the same tomato. But an old variety named Henderson's Ponderosa doesn't quite have the same mystique as the renamed Brandywine Pink (and the story that goes with it).
