I have no strong opinion on renaming the project as such and conducting a survey was surely one of the better ways to handle that question. However, one thing in their evaluation of alternative names sprung out at me:

> No option receives more likes than dislikes.

So the new name was just "the least bad" option. Naming things is hard and getting a community to agree on a name is surely that much harder still, but I still find it a bit sad that the new name is not well-liked.
