Re: [Gimp-developer] Gimp in private schools and educational institutions
We should call it GNUIMP (pronounced New-Imp). GIMP is just crushing recursive acronyms together ;) Seriously though, the fact that it's not commercial software is likely to be more of an issue than the name. Google is about the worst name I can think of for anything adults would use, yet it's used everywhere, by nearly everyone so the name itself is not going to inhibit widespread adoption. GIMP is one of the most popular Open Source software applications available to date. People who say it's not popular or will never be (for any reason) simply aren't paying attention.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Gimp in private schools and educational institutions
The name is a blocker in some US schools with teachers or student parents that over-sensitive (and somewhat dirty-minded, since gimp has other meanings in English). By the way, one of the most popular Web server software is called Apache. In French, it is also slang for a street robber and any person of ill repute. Doesn't make it any less popular with corporate IT.

So you [...] I could certainly find people in the professional world to talk about it if a name change was in consideration. What about GIM and pronounce it as gem? Why not just drop the P and it would be fine. It would be explosive and people could use it. It would start to have young adopters and brand loyalty.
