>Further proof that 'Calligra' is an awful name: this time it took me six rereadings to determine that it was not in fact called 'Caligula', even though the exact same misreading happened last time I read its name here.

TBH I think that says rather more about you than the choice of name :P

Seriously, no name is going to please everyone but Calligra actually seems like a really good choice to me - it's not quite a real word, nor a generic description - like calling it 'Word Processor' - so it's unique and memorable, but it *is* evocative of writing and suggests the purpose of the software more clearly than most names, without being ambiguous or uncomfortable to pronounce (I would feel embarrassed suggesting an application named 'LibreOffice' to my boss).

Off the top of my head, the only OSS application I can think of that's as well named is Inkscape.
