    I will be locking this issue to avoid non-core developers spamming with the same walls of texts about the project name.

    Bruno is a very wise man.

        A man can be wise and still propose a name that some people don’t like. The reason why this man is wise is, he knows what would happen and is wise enough to limit / lock the thread before it happens.

          There are names that ‘some people don’t like.’ There are also terrible names. WLBR is both.

            Your opinion is one of many. For some the name does not matter, for others GIMP is worse than WLBR. I don’t care what the name is. To me the person Bruno was wise to lock it, because he knew non contributor would spam with their opinion and with history. That is the mark of a wise man. This is my point, not how many people like or dislike the new name. That’s not the point I am making.

            Yeah I agree. WLBR is the most horrible name ever. Also it reminds me of the WNBR, which is the World Naked Bike Ride… not safe for work either.

              Reminds me of the WLER railway line, and I like trains, so that makes it a great name.

              (Turns out that “it reminds me of” is not a great way to evaluate a name)
