At least call it “string hypothesis” until they can come up with their first experiment.

I believe it’s called M-Theory because the mathematics are so beautiful in that they reduce to general relativity in the limit. It is very seductive. Mathematicians and mathematical physicists just cannot resist the allure.

Well, no.

I believe that hypotheses need to be testable and falsifiable.

So if string “theory” is not an acceptable term, then string “speculation” might be a good substitute.
