Currently the various copper blocks appear to be named inconsistently:
Regular | Waxed Regular | Cut | Waxed Cut |
---|---|---|---|
Copper Block | Waxed Copper | Cut Copper | Waxed Cut Copper |
Lightly Weathered Copper Block | Waxed Lightly Weathered Copper | Lightly Weathered Cut Copper | Waxed Lightly Weathered Cut Copper |
Semi-Weathered Copper Block | Waxed Semi-Weathered Copper | Semi-Weathered Cut Copper | Waxed Semi-Weathered Cut Copper |
Weathered Copper BlocK | - | Weathered Cut Copper | - |
It appears as if the regular copper blocks either have an extra "block", or the waxed regular copper blocks are missing the "block" suffix.

I'd say the waxed, cut, and waxed cut variants are missing the word "Block". Quartz block variants keep "Block" in their names ("Chiseled Quartz Block", "Smooth Quartz Block")

There's so much information being conveyed in the names that they become overwhelming to read! Perhaps all variants could be renamed "Copper Block"/"Waxed Copper Block" and the weathered status could be moved to a tooltip (like enchantments, copy stages of a book or patterns in a banner)? It's already possible to see the current stage just by looking at the color of the block.

I think that waxed versions can still be their own blocks or be blockstates.
But they are missing the "block" part.
I think they should actually become Block of Copper, Block of Waxed Copper, etc. for consistency with other blocks (i.e., Block of Iron, Block of Emerald, Block of Redstone, Block of Amethyst, etc.).
Still an issue in snapshot 20W51A
Still an issue in snapshot 21w03a
Now considered a parity issue since Bedrock's Copper Block name are named consistently.
Still an issue in 21w05a
21w05b "fixes" the issue, but it still remains a parity issue with Bedrock. I say "fixes" because it is arguably even more inconsistent now.
I can confirm!
