I agree; Conkeror is a good name; it's much more searchable than any
other decent name that has been proposed so far.
Obviously it was deliberately named with the same name as an existing
browser back at its inception, and I think this hints a bit at the
playful nature of the project and the community surrounding it. This
would be a shame to lose. If you have to refer to it in spoken
conversation, "Conkeror with a C" is not too bad, especially considering
that it's referred to in written conversation far more often.
If the name does have to change, "Conker" would be ideal because it
would make the relationship between the new and old names very obvious
and be the least disorienting to newcomers who follow links that still
refer to "Conkeror".
Also, we should get Shawn Betts to chime in on the thread as he is the
originator of the project.
