I am quite bad in english, so I really do not know.
Even if the wordings are equally bad I would still prefer MeasureRest. 
If you are looking for a way to typeset a one measure rest you probably 
will not read the section about "multi measure rest". If, otoh, you are 
looking for a way to typeset a rest over several measures, I guess that 
you would read a section about "measure rests".
But I agree that this argument is not enough for a "grand renaming 
operation"

> MeasuresRest might work.

Hmm, I don't like that.
Difficult to pronounce, and a hard-to-remember names that is out-of-line 
with the naming of the other objects in lilypond (after all, we do not 
talk about StaffsGroups, do we? :-) )
