Well Paris-Resonance is fun but just too weird… Moreover I don't think

Let's stay with Étoilé then. No new project to set up, that's
convenient :-)
Alex will be upset :-/
Why would I be upset? That makes no sense.
hehe I was just joking… without usual smiley safety belt.
Nicolas has done a quick poll, British people prefer Étoilé to
Resonance, may be Étoilé is not so bad.
I never said it was :) I like the name, personally, but I do not think
it
would be generally received well by many (most?) Americans. That's not
something I can really change, even though I happen to think it's lame.
Banlu prefers Étoilé (or Paris-Resonance :-), he is playing a decisive
role in this project like Nicolas or me and on this list we have been
unable to to reach an agreement on other proposals (outside of
Resonance)… I admit I'm fine with Étoilé even if I was pushing for a
new name initially. Last point, I think project names like GNOME or KDE
are probably less sexy than Étoilé and look in my opinion like lame
developer oriented marketing honestly.
Most of people in France I have talked about GNOME or KDE for first
time, have said theses names sound ugly. May be it's not true for other
languages speakers.
Finally with any names there is side effect in one language or another
: Gnome just means "dwarf" in French, I don't know in English… but
that's not very positive.
I must admit, here… British people == probably students hijacking "tea
room" of Nicolas' university lab ;-)
Does that really matter? :)
A lot ! Swansea university people are drinking very special sort of tea
which extends your "marketing quotient" way over normal value… :-D
