I don't feel like any of your arguments have much weight, since
for most applications the name only has a very vague correlation
with the functionality or intended purpose, if that: see mutt,
dnf, evince, firefox, ansible and so, so many more examples.

That said, point taken about the need for the community to stand
behind a name before it can be adopted.

Most importantly, I feel like we could both spend our time in a
more productive way than argue about this, so let's just stick
with the existing name unless someone comes up with a different
one that manages to make everyone happy.
