I think with both knots, the clinch bowline and the one in the forum post, both have to be under pressure to be of any practicle use, or otherwise the loop drops.
In what material are you tying it? I just gave it and the Bollard loop some exercise
in 5mm shock/bungee cord (used, not terribly slick), and they did okay, with the
latter showing end slippage (drew a stopper snug) on imbalanced loading, but
not the Dbl.Cross/Dbl.Clinch. If the material is somewhat inflexible or slick, this
knot will loosen; but otherwise it has the chance to be more slack-secure than the Bowline.
'Myrtle Hitch' which is momorable, distinct and, if the user knows the history behind the name, it triggers valid uses for the knot.
It might be "momorable" if your mom goes by that name, but it otherwise has
no attachment to the knot, unlike "Dble.X" or "Clinch"--though in the case of the
latter, the so-called seized structure didn't work as does this knot's similar ones:
it didn't tighten around its object (and seems a rather poorly designed structure!).
a name is a valuable way of remembering the knot and its attributes.
For which "Clinch Bwl", "Dble.Clinch Bwl" (after all, there are TWO clinch parts),
"Dble.Clinch", "Dbl.Cross Bwl" do offer some mnemonic aid (and I can see "Kruez" being
in the German name, as it is in "Kruezklem" for the Hedden H.). Such things become
less helpful the more full & cluttered one's knotting space becomes--e.g., here we
can see four like knots, even without the double-turn variants.
Interesting that Hansel & Gretel have the, er,
Inside Clinch version. In manila rope,
this gives a geometry to the SPart akin to an Overhand, and its bend seems nicely
gradual, and the knot doesn't roll the way it can in a synthetic rope. With the
OP's form in manila, it readily jams--hardly a threat to loosen! However, the H&G
version has a tendency/vulnerability to have the end drawn by the loaded SPart
around to come up between the coil of the SPart, and the integrity of the knot
is potentially lost much after that. An elastic material will enable this deformation
more readily.
Ring-loaded, the H&G version is a Granny; the Dbl.X is one of
those Single Carricks, I suppose (not worth checking), and fares better.
(Note that Ashley does give a "Carrick Loop"--#1033.)
