Might I propose "reusable address".

I think that describes it best to any non-programmer, and even more so encourages wallets to present options as 'one time use' vs 'reusable'.

It definitely packs a marketing punch which could help drive adoption. The feature is only useful if/when broadly adopted.

I think it meets all the criteria required:

  - Communication between parties is a single message from the payee, which may be public

  - Multiple payments to the same address are not publicly linkable on the blockchain

  - The payee has explicitly designated they expect to receive more than one payment at that address

  - Payer can publicly prove they made a payment to the reusable address by revealing a secret

I have high hopes for this feature. The war *against* address reuse may soon be a distant memory.

"static address" seems like a reasonable attempt at describing intended use/direction.

ACK.  Regardless of the 'political' overtones, I think stealth is a
little cringe-worthy.

"Private address" would be fine if not for confusion with private-keys.

"Static address" is perhaps the best in my view. (also helps improve
 awareness that normal addresses are intended to be more one-use-ness)
