Peter, I agree that 'File - New' and 'File - Open' are standard and clear enough. But at your invitation for suggestions, this thought came to mind: It might help some users if the name of the menu was changed from 'File' to 'Database'. Even for me as a long-time user of Mnemosyne, I never think of the DB as a file in itself -- probably because I never interact with (open, move, copy, rename) it directly as I do with text, spreadsheet, image, and sound files. Instead, I encounter the database only within Mnemosyne itself, hence it seems to be a part of the program rather than a file with independent existence.
