Description
It took forever to find a post on the forums for the correct method to send data to stdout. It would be helpful for new users if you wrote a function called "Print" or "Echo" that would delegate the call to ConsoleWrite.
Even if you do not add such a feature, simply adding an alias in the documentation's function list would be incredibly helpful.
Perhaps "StdOutWrite" is more in touch with the AutoIt spirit.

I just opened the AutoIt help file and searched for "stdout" and the first result is ConsoleWrite(). If that is "obscure" then you have a very strange definition of the word.
As for the naming convention, it is consistent. Whenever AutoIt reads or writes to it's own stdin/stdout/stderr handles it uses a function prefixed with "Console". When it reads/writes to another applications it uses StdXXX. Two separate sets of functions which serve two different purposes with two different naming conventions.

Did you try to use Search with keyword stdout?
