As an aikidoka, I have no problem with it being called that. It is worth remembering however that Ueshiba didn't pick the name aikido to refer to his art, up until only maybe half a dozen or so years before his art was named aikido he was still issuing Daito Ryu certificates IIRC...
That and the fact that the name aikido was originally intended to refer to arts other than Ueshiba's too... So you could simply (and perhaps properly) say that Ueshiba-ha Daito Ryu is
an aikido, not necessarily
the aikido....
