I like the idea of a unique name that indicates heritage from the MeeGo project, but is the name "mg" unique enough? What about a bit longer name like 'ogeem' ? It would actually be rather slick if projects just used their names frontwise-round as a trademarked term, and allowed the community to use their names in reverse to merely indicate heritage ("meego" -> "ogeem", "debian" -> "naibed", etc...). This would provide a standardized method for pointing at the upstream project without stepping on any Trademark toes.
