So lamia definitely is the better term. However, the term naga has been used so much, it's surpassed the original in popular culture, much like how Tiamat and Bahamut have become dragons, or the extension of kitsune beyond being a simple fox.
RPGs and Video Games have created a "new" mythology as it were. Real interesting stuff, I think.
ANYWAY, I approve of this thread.
