I like Calligra Sheets which is even shorter, close to what is does and 
while it's rather generic there is no such big danger other apps are 
using it in there UI to describe something else.

Would  "Spreadsheet" pass those "the name should be short, 1-3 
syllables" idea formulated in the first discussion when Calligra was 
formed? If yes, I think that's for sure a nice and matching one too :)
