If you want to call the Hanafis something other than simply Hanafis - then choose the word Ahl-ul-Qiyas rather than Ahl–ul-Ra’y. In fact analogical reasoning is the basis of ijtihad which is why my claim that Hanafis are an established school in this respect is because they traditionally gave most importance to making the whole doctrine balance out - Imam Abu Hanifah was accused of being a rationalist and although rational thought is used it is not the premise for Hanafi fiqh like it is for Mu’tazili belief. It is merely used to argue between two valid opinions in order to derive the better one using another benchmark. The primary source for all Sunni schools is scripture. Naql precedes and then 'aql follows - where required. Arguably as I said earlier Hanafis led this mechanism historically and it is almost unavoidable now in the modern day - all schools use Qiyas.

No, I don’t choose the words. The scholars do and this is what they are and will be called Ahl Al-Ray’ since this is what all scholars have called them. If you don’t like it so be it
