+0 to changing the name. While there is obviously a sizable number of people who dislike the name, there is also a number of people who do like it. I personally don't like the name much, but I don't hate it either. There are good reasons to keep it, unless a better name can be found. To date, the best proposal is using the shorthand CXF to refer to the project. This way we can keep the name, and have a palatable nickname. It never hurt WPI, RPI, or MIT to have two names....
