One variation of this, "recycled address", might avert misconceptions that the "re-use" is exclusive to one's own identity.

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 secretI have high hopes for this feature. The war *against* address reuse may soon be a distant memory.On Wed, 15 Jan 2014 12:44:17 -0800, Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@bitpay.com> wrote:

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)------------------------------------------------------------------------------
