Just read Mark Kretschmann about application naming.

Another consideration is: will the name show up in Google? Some projects have been extremely bad at this, the prime example I'm thinking of is the KVM virtualisation module in Linux. I'm treating KVM as the name here, since the term “Kernel-based Virtual Machine” is not even a name, really... (ok, it has become popular enough so that linux-kvm.org now shows up at the top.)

If you want a couple of other examples, there are the two mathematical programs R and Maxima. Can you imagine searching for something like "diff fixed point maxima" and getting something related to the program...?

Also: have you thought of how bad it is to have an OS named after a browser? Especially google should have known better.
