Yes, but the hot molten rock Jupiter mass things out there are not part of what I'm suggesting naming.
The Kuiper belt objects seem to be snow rather than ice, I don't know what happens with hydrogen snow but water snow is mostly much less dense than ice.
I'm talking about most of the Earth, all the hot high pressure rock between the crust and the core, which seems to be in a fluid-solid hybrid sort of state.And now the core does matter, but only for Earth?
I find gas-giant-planet and rock-ball-planet to be overly long and cumbersome. "Planet" for the rock-balls and something else (hpefully equally concise) for the gas-giants would be an improvement in my view. I do hate it when people steal words which have a meaning already (like "colour" and "charm" in nuclear physics), so hopefully not one of those.There's another issue that if we stop calling Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune planets (or plane-ettes, or wandering stars, or rudisplorks), we have another question to ask ourselves, "What are they?" I have lots of ideas, but I think the only category that is board appropriate is to call them Space Balls.
