Me too. But ask yourself: is it really worth it? I will probably feel better _if_ I win, but:
1. I'm sure I will win?
2. What will be the price paid if I win? What if I loose?

And yes, words mean things, but the dictionary is full of them. There are plenty of examples of projects that changed names for several reasons, and nothing bad did happen. Remember the Phoenix browser? Maybe you will recognize it better if I use it's current name: Firefox.
