Well if you want to get technical you are right also. I think in a standard pinout like 568a or b the jack would be called an 8p8c. But most people just call them an RJ45.
Just like a RJ11 is standard for a phone jack, and DB9 and DB25 for RS-232 is the standard but still can be pinned out many ways.... straight through, crossed over, etc
