Similar to Florian, I am happy with longer, easy-to-grab names.

This g/k/e-thing is
- sometimes cool, with some really creative names
- OTOH, good names often don't reveal the prog's purpose anymore
- sometimes stupid/boring, since it's hard to come up with enough cool names, 
- and thus sometimes ignored
- sometimes misleading (e.g. gnuplot is NOT a GNU program, I don't have a 
better example right now)

I vote for freevo-tvserver etc. :-)

Have a nice day!
