Hey Ankur, Just a heads up, I remembered seeing the name in relation to linux software somewhere and did a quick google. Seems like there was a company named loki which used to distribute linux games. Although the company no longer exists, the software released by the company does[1]. Besides this there is also a C++ library with the same name and also a character named loki by Marvel Comics[2] (ie: existing name in related application domain). So, it might be a good idea to rename your application in the chance that your app. becomes wildly popular :).
