Just to bear in mind that this name will be used widely around the globe in association with the registration and WhoIs of IDNs. Thus entirely non-technically minded people will be faced with and have to deal with this name. (We've already had one person who asked us why the "RACE" of the name was being requested -- "what does the ethnic background of the name have to do with anything ..." )
I'd thus prefer a name that is easy to remember, short, not confusing, and which is non-techie-sounding (there can I suppose always be the full technical name that has "-63" or whatever attached to it which is used in the tech community but not burdened on the global consumer/business communities).
