Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: What's in an Acer name?, 1 by ferrymead

I have recently planted an Acer Palmatum in my brand new garde. It has a name which to me does not enhance as it has been called "Bloodgood' which sounds rather gruesone to me! If I had been asked to name it I may have chosen something better such as 'Beau Scarlet'. Is anyone else growing this Acer variety?
The little shrub to the right is a pittispotum 'White Cloud' and I see I have a weed growing there in the picture - - looks like what we call fat hem!!
