To be more productive on this one;
As far as I remember the idea was to establish one common brand: Calligra.
That means the application-names themself should not be used 
"stand-alone" like they where before. So, it's Calligra Words and not 
KWord, it's Calligra Stage and not KPresenter and it's Calligra Tables 
and not KSpread/Abascus.
This was iirc in the spirit of OpenOffice and Apple which choose both 
rather common names like Writer, Numbers, etc. and market them with 
there common brand OpenOffice/iWork/etc.

Now to the source: seems I am not able to find it in our 
mailinglist-archieve. Does maybe someone else remember the discussion 
back then and has an idea where it took place?
