So you have no problem with people being baptised in the titles then? After all, they appear in the Bible (in connection with baptism, even).
Eucharist does not appear as a DESIGNATION for the Lord's Supper or for the bread and wine.
If an old sister in the church refers to the meeting house as 'the house of God' she should be reminded that the house is no more God's house than her own house or apartment or mobile home is - and to the same extent, and for the same reasons, and nothing more.
