I know, but you could say that a CNOT is an "augmented-XOR" (to give it a name). Classically, if you just copy one of the inputs as one output and then XOR the inputs as the other you have the most analogous classical gate to CNOT (in fact, the truth tables are identical, the only difference is that the CNOT takes superpositions). So it could be argued that CNOT could be more like a quantum two-input XOR gate than a quantum NOT gate. But I think CNOT is already established as a name...
