So it seems that this initiative died. (I really hope I wasn't the one
who killed the momentum by saying I didn't like Fedora's names.) I
don't think this renaming would be considered a feature, so I think
there's still plenty of time to get this done by the 4.5 string
freeze.

So, I'd say let's get some more names suggested or some consensus on
the already given ones.

Proposals:

KSinkShips (Fedora)
Naval Battle (Mauricio)
OceanKlash (Eugene)
BattleSeas (Eugene)
AquaFight (Eugene)
The Rocket Splash (Eugene)
NavalKlash (Parker)
NavalSkirmish (Parker)
SinkSankSunk (Parker, probably not very translatable)

KSnakeDuel (Fedora)
Super Bikes (Eugene)
Lightning Kross (Eugene)
Snakeroll (Eugene)
BikeTag (Eugene)
Tag-Tag (Eugene)
MazeFight (Parker)
MazeBikes (Parker)
WalledIn (Parker)

Please reply, copying the entire lists above and appending your
suggestions. Just throw out ideas, even if they're not very good (like
mine above). They may give someone else an idea for a great name.
