++1 for you
+and
++1 for Graham
+
+IMHO, and it has been told before, is that the name is not a problem.
+
+The better example we have is Apple. Stories tell us that the name was a
+explicit decision because it was impossible to find a "good name". Althoug
+this story was a lie, is a good example that demonstrate that a simply name
+with a really good marketing is enought to grow the power of the mark.
+
+I think that we can start from Mageia, like it evoques the magic world, we
+can try to explain that it is that all of us are wanting: easy, eyecandy,
+but powerfull and sturdy.
+
+XescoMM.
