No reason to gratuitously introduce confusion. Sometimes we cannot avoid it,
and names are never perfect. But this is counter-productive. Please DTRT, one
way or another.
If you define a command that does multiple things, then try to find a name that
expresses that. If the multiple things are completely different from each
other, then they might not belong together in the same command.
In this case, the command reports a certain number of counts, which is fine.
The name should reflect that.
