I understand pros and cons; both are valid, but i'm slightly more on the 
"pros" side.

I'd suggest "fraktion" (or "fraktions") as a new name: It describes the 
application with an english-like word (so broadening the number of people who 
can understand its goals at a glance), has a "k" in the name and "fraktion" is 
still a german word, so it maintains its original "flavour".
