"User agent" is borrowed from HTTP, where it says

user agent
     The client which initiates a request. These are often browsers,
     editors, spiders (web-traversing robots), or other end user tools.

(HTTP doesn't have the problem of user agents being the recipient of
requests.)

"SIP End system" or "SIP CPE?" :-)
