about this name (i.e. change it). I have friends ask
me What program is that? and the when they hear
GIMP it doesn't sound good, and it's hard to
remember. So what do YOU think, does

The name is fine, and it's not a name I have trouble remembering.

No. The name is very nice and many people already know it.
It is a good brand. Even people that never used it often heard about
the Gimp.
And the name is very easy to remember. It is only 4 letters short
and it has a meaning -
