If you want to rename the tools just do them consistent:
avprobe
avplay
so the pattern here is av+VERB

avconvert/avmux is consistent with this pattern, avconvert looks a
more intuitive name.

I'd rather name it just "av" the name is available and the shorter
the better. I do agree that avconv/avconvert is more intuitive but
mux seems to cover better what av.c should provide.

av =>  unexplicative

I know, but gives you the idea "does stuff on audio video" like "ip" does stuff on the ip protocol.

avmux =>  the tool muxes, but it's not the only thing that the tool
does, "avconvert" explicates better what the tool does (convert A/V/S
streams).

Indeed both cover just a side of it.

On the same ground, maybe ffserver =>  av+stream, "server" doesn't tell
what the tool does.

avserver tells us that the program serves audio/video so might still be easy to get.
