Do we know the mascot is male?  (The icon lacks sufficient  
definition for me to tell.)  Maybe LyXandra?  Has a classical ring  
to it.

my penny contribution:

LyXle

mind you, LyX was created in Tuebingen, which belongs to Swabia (Germany), and 
the Swabians put a le at the end of a word for diminution. An advantage is, 
its pronouncable for GBs and USs easily (though not as the swabians do)

If the thread (and vote) are still open, I'd say "LyX" is just fine;
alternative: FeLyX (although a cat would be better then :) 

On the LyDia/dysLyXia front, why not aLyXia? (although alyxiae seem to be plants
rather than animals).

My penny contribution,

Luis.

Lyxia sounds oddly oral as in cunnilingus. Lydia sounds like a cross 
between LyX and Apple Lisa.

``The LyX'' sounds like one is entering a Rave or a Comedy Club.

Lydia would work if it's actually an Acronym for this LaTeX WYSIWYM 
Environment.

We need more female users, as the developers are only male, we should 
at least have a femal mascot ;-). I simply like the name that was
