However you'd search for Hugin if you were to find a panorama creation
tool... I don't think this is a strong argument. Why not use a nice
name like Daisy and add a short description, (like Hugin has:
"panorama photo stitcher")? You'd still be able to find it that way.
And to end users such a name is more friendly too. Well, that's my
opinion.

And what about when another patent free feature detector is build?
You'd end up with confusion if you only use a descriptive name, or
you'd have to resort to full descriptive names like scientific papers
often do (ugly!). Remember qtpfsgui? I definitely wouldn't vote for
that one.

That is, if you know your panorama-creation program should "detect
features" in the source images. It's only obvious once you know what
you should be looking for.
