Surely the time could be spent on more productive efforts ;-)

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....

-1 to changing the name.
Personally i dont see changing the name is required and i dont
understand
why we are voting on this.
As it was stated before, lot of effort and thought process has gone
into
this and without a concrete option it is hard to vote.
I agree with Dan Diephouse that there is some amount of marketing
benefit
as well to keep the name CeltiXfire.
thanks,

Well I believe that if you don't like a name then at least a
better one
should be proposed. While some suggestions have been
interesting, I haven't
seen any suggestions so far that are super compelling. I
have been reading
them all and was curious to see if someone would come up with a
better
name. I thought Foam was an interesting concept for example,
although I
believe that one had some trademark issues. I didn't personally
have
anything to do with selecting the "Celtix" or "XFire" names for
either
project and the idea of picking a new name was somewhat
attractive when I
was working on the proposal for merging these projects and
moving the code
to Apache. Then we brainstormed and ran into a lot of
difficulty finding a
name that is meaningful and has no trademark issues. I
thought that a lot
of people were interested in this project because the code
and individuals
from XFire and the code and individuals from Celtix are very
high quality
and complementary in many ways and as a single project and
community with a
focused effort it can be even better and even more people
would want to use
and get involved with this project. From that perspective, I
thought that
the CeltiXfire name was appropriate.
