While I agree that a "unix-like" name is preferable, I just want to point out 
that 'fetch' is already used by a http/ftp transfer tool that's bundled with 
FreeBSD, so that would be a really bad choice...

Feel free to add those to the Wiki page.

I'd prefer short simple names, though. And I'm not a fan of CamelCase
(the actual command-line tool should, in particular, not require use of
the shift key in typing the name).

I really like the name `fetch` because it does what it says it does.
It's more UNIX-like than the other names :-)
