Actually I prefer Resonance over Étoilé since I really feel it sounds better. And I think 2 ' is too much but hey, I am really OK with Étoilé. I think a name is just one thing. Users will learn to love the word when they love the system. At the early stage of the development, developers are more important. And I don't think they care about the name. I guess Rio and Quentin should just pick the names and make a poll so we can click. I agree that this thread is indeed too long and I think the discussion already cover all important point.
