That's an interesting point, and one I hadn't thought about. I could see it going either way. On the one hand, names are powerful. On the other hand, they lose some of their power once familiar, and the Wikipedia community is often so thoroughly skeptical that calling the feature Free Money For Everybody might not be enough to cause indiscriminate use. Either way, it's a good point, and I hope that people weighing in on this think of names from that angle too.
