+1 for you and +1 for Graham IMHO, and it has been told before, is that the name is not a problem. The better example we have is Apple. Stories tell us that the name was a explicit decision because it was impossible to find a "good name". Althoug this story was a lie, is a good example that demonstrate that a simply name with a really good marketing is enought to grow the power of the mark. I think that we can start from Mageia, like it evoques the magic world, we can try to explain that it is that all of us are wanting: easy, eyecandy, but powerfull and sturdy. XescoMM.
