My vote is no, for what it's worth. A justified "bad" name is still a
"bad" name. "XBMC" had a bad name for a while, since the "X" used to stand
for "XBOX". They've since renamed to "Kodi.tv".

Hi, sorry to bump this difficult discussion, but I just wanted to share
what I came across to.
Actually I'm not sure if someone has wrote this exact suggestion before.
I'm sure, tho, that we talked about recursive names.
So, to keep the current acronym,
LMMS Makes Music
In the sense that with LMM
What about a completely new way of calling the program, keeping the LMMS
acronym?
My idea was:
- LM are the initials of the program new name
- MS are instead the initials of the current version name
The program name might be something like Libre Music (or, using an easy
Italian word, Libera Music

Hi,
just change Linux to *Libre*
then it can prevent confusion and we don't have to change the name.
LMMS is becoming more well known, and I think completely changing the
branding at this point is not beneficial.

Why is this so important? I don't really care how this software will be

FYI - That's the same pgiblock that helped write LMMS, BTW. :)
if we were to listen to all different Latin-derived pronunciations,

- ti (like in "teeth")
- Do (the note) Dough, as in bread

Wait, how do you pronounce Latido?
Is it,
- la (like in "later")
- ti (like in "teeth")
- Do (the note)
?

If I were to choose between Unison and Silas, even tho I agree that
Unison is too common, I would choose it.
Silas sounds a bit cacophonous (to use a Greek term) to me. But it might
be just me.
The ending "s"is the problem: we "Latins" would all pronounce it
differently to each other.

Also, for a short name such as Silas or Unison, an acronym is not
necessary. Just remove the "studio" off the name for short.
I like Silas and Unison. Open Tracks Studio is too long. Latido sounds
weird to me.

Unison is a nice word, but all too common in my opinion. Perhaps there

Reading through Rob's post (from 2010) he mentions the name "Unison".
