If you recall the original names, the Nowra guidebook is fairly anodyne; I cant think of any other guidebook where the names have been so extensively moderated.
I doubt that the first ascentionist feelings were a significant consideration.
And, unlike Neil, I wouldn't worry about kid sensitivity if I was writing the guide.
