That is a good point. Don't want to rush and don't want to let it fall off the radar and also may want to collect more information. I am thinking of creating a document PR on the website that outlines the process for choosing a new name. I think there is broad consensus that voting on a name change is a good idea. The specifics of how this vote will happen need to be worked out.
