Your views on what science is, and is not, should be critical to all of science. Much is at stake in allowing pseudoscience residence in the objective realm.
Yet, there does not seem to be much of an appropriate term that identifies and puts conjecture in its place. "Theory" should be reserved term. I can see why everyone wants to use it as a tag to their ideas, but if another term were well established to qualify these incipient theories, then they should be less prone to try to abuse the "theory" term. [Added: I entered "Multiverse Theory" in Google and got 25,000 hits.]
