[...] So conceptually we need two rectangle types. I suggest "rectangle" is reserved for the general case, and the aligned one is called "box". As in "bounding box". It has the benefit of being short. Not sure. In computer graphics you specifically talk about "axis-aligned bounding boxes". To me, "box" is the 3d version of "rectangle".
