I can only urgently recommend two things:
(1) Do not make a distinction between the name as shown in the K-Menu and
the executable's name. Having a strong name is important for spreading the
word of a program. This name should already explain what the program does.
And it should be short enough to prepend the organization that developed
it. Just as a coincidence, yesterday I read an explanation why the name
Wii was chosen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii#Name. Again, having one
strong name helps.
(2) keep the name kaddressbook.
