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?
