Beware here, they are not footprint anymore when they are on the board, 
have a value, a reference and so on... They are components.

Footprint is the right term for the standalone "print" a component will 
drop on a PCB. You can name them so in the footprint library, in the 
component propriety and so on... In the PCB editor, this object is a 
Components and should be named so.
