This is the first time I've heard anyone call them anything other than a woodlouse

You must be referring to the Woodlouse Hunter which hunts... *checks notes ...Granny Grunters.

I only ever called them woodlouses when I learned that name as a teenager because everyone here always called them "roly-polies" or "potato bugs."

Roly polies does sound adorable, I'll give you that
