Kiriko is the term used by many, including author and publication side, to refer to the look of Kirito's avatar in Gun Gale Online due to its girlishness. In Japan, since it is common for having girl's name end as -ko, therefore it reflect on internet cluture that a character name could be altered to end with -ko to indicate the character had been recreated into female in the topic which people are talking about. While it is not exactly the case we have here since he is still being a male in this game, that is close enough to what people think and want for them to call this as is. After all, the original light novel illustration for that avatar is drawn by drawing a girl out and then remove unnecessary parts away from the illustration.
