Or you can call it a "magnetic dipole" if the dimensions apply.

I agree it should be called a "small loop" rather than a "magnetic loop". My above quote from Kraus seems to give us permission to call it a "magnetic loop" and here's what Balanis says:

"A comparison of (the small loop equations) with those of the infinitesimal magnetic dipole indicates that they have similar forms."
