A number of nice suggestions for a new name have been made on the list.

I was just thinking of some must-have criteria for the new name, to allow the 
client to have success:

1. no trademark conflicts
2. domains available (even if we promote .org or .net, also .com should point 
to the same pages)
3. useable in many languages (& no bad meanings)
4. short (no hyphen etc)

I also like Phonix, but it is very close to a number of European and US 
registered trademarks (Phönix, Phonixx, Euphonix, ...) which may make 
trouble. And the phonix.com domain is only available for 1500.000 $ (whois 
says). 

If we want to see the client as a real competitor to M$ IM or skype, then we 
have to face the fact, that 80% of all downloads will be for M$ platforms. If 
we use "k" or not may be of relevance for only a small (compared to all 
users) community of developers - luckily, running GNOME applications on KDE 
or vice versa seems not to be an issue anymore.
