The reason I object to hayek being termed that, is because some of hayek's thought (his idea of spontaneous order, for example) seems different than libertarianism (i really don't know what it would be).

I'm afraid you are off-base there. Most libertarians do indeed believe in self-organizing systems. That's why they are so comfortable with lots of liberty. They reject the idea that order must be imposed by an external force, and embrace the idea that systems can order themselves without external coercion or force being applied.

thanks for the clarification and correction.
