These had their roots in a proposal by Norm which has received some refinement, discussion, and action since.
The proposed changes are listed in changes-set.txt and the division into groups is from #4332 (comment) . Group 1 from that comment is done, #4504 is about group 2, and this issue is for groups 3 and 4.
The proposed renames in groups 3 and 4 are:
proposed syldc imtrdcom
proposed syldd imtrdd
proposed sylbb bitriim
proposed sylbbr bitrriim
proposed sylbb1 bitr3iim
proposed sylbb2 bitr4iim
proposed syl5com imtridcom
proposed syl56 imtridi
proposed syl5d imtridd
proposed syl5ibcom imbitridcom
proposed syl5ibrcom imbitrridcom
proposed syl6com imtrdicom
proposed syl6d imtrdid
proposed syl imtri (analogous to *bitr*, sstri, etc.)
there is less agreement on renaming syl
than others here
proposed syl5 imtrid alternate proposal: sylid
proposed syl6 imtrdi alternate proposal: syldi
Some of these seem relatively clear in terms of what name matches our conventions; some of them are on this list because they are a bit more ad hoc but seem better than the existing names. In particular, getting rid of the numbers 5 and 6 in the context of syl naming might be a desirable goal, which would call for doing these renames and the ones from #4504 as well as syl6an , syl6mpi , syl6c , syl6ci and (in Alan Sare's mathbox) syl5imp and syl5impVD.
The theorem syl is a bit of a special case because it is referenced in the metamath book and thus might benefit from a comment analogous to the one at https://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/trud.html .
Feel free to make suggestions for alternate names or any of these that aren't a good idea. I would recommend that we do the renames in #4504 before any of these.
However, to the extent there was a consensus in the discussion in #4332 it seemed to be that we wanted to rename these somehow, so I guess I'm operating under the assumption that for most/all of them we do want a new name, even if I'm more uncertain about whether there are better choices for some of the new names.

I'm in favor of all these renamings, thank you for the clear exposition.
Among these, I think it is especially important to rename syl: this has the same consistency and mnemonics advantages as the other labels in this list, and moreover, it removes this "misnomer" since "syl" is generally used in propositional calculus to denote the closed form and not the inference as in the current version of set.mm.
