I agree. KAddressBook really is the best name for it although appending 
a '2' won't do because KAddressBook is currently at version 4.2 (since 
it follows the version number of KDE). Maybe append something like 'NG' 
or whatever.

In fact, as application name (shown in the UI) "KDE Address Book" would 
be even better. Reasoning: We should try to get away from this 
K-namespacing of our applications. It's so last-century. Moreover, 
explicitely adding KDE to the application's name will improve the 
awareness of the KDE brand. FWIW, I'd like to see the same happen with 
KMail (-> KDE Mail), KOrganizer (-> KDE Calendar?), etc.

The name of the executables would still be ksomething because on this 
level the namespacing does make sense. Maybe on this level the new 
address book app could simply be named kaddressbook2.

Just my 2 cents...

Ingo
