As amaroK, insanity and me agreed, we should call the player thingy - Boingo.

It's a easy to remember name, and is really easy to write, as it starts with 
upper case B we can also allow an adaption to boingo - the difference is not 
big, and by using actually 2 spellings our well loved mediawiki software 
can't mess around with it. 
Its sound is error proofed, anyone writing the name will recoginize a spelling 
error, since the _i_ provides a very specific sound of the name. 
It also doesn't have a K, k or kay, so that no user will think we use KDE 
stuff, work together with KDE staff or just use KDE infrastructure, as people 
use to do about KVirc.
The best thing is that Boingo is a really special name, and of course due to 
the special sound, it's a perfect brand (I also doubt it is a tm).

We also pointed out that boingo-player.org is still free (as well as 
boingo-project.org in case we wanna have a project site in case we open up a 
foundation). 

Thoughts about?
