Hybrid naming conventions?

(A weird, just wondering question:)

How does a plant go from its obvious hybrid designation (e.g. D. intermedia x
filiformis) to D. x hybrida?

Not to belabor the D. intermedia x rotundifolia thread again, but I think it
should be called D. x robusta (FWIW) is that incredibly arrogant of me? (all
flames in private, please). Or is it fated to be called D. intermedia x
rotundifolia forever?

Is there a plant taxonomist in the house?
