I never said there weren't any alternative names, just that none of the names garnered any real support. Also you haven't provided a compelling argument as to why "why weeks of uncertainty and community friction is preferable to simply ripping the band aid off and going with dash".
Edit: Also you have not explained why naming is as important as the underlying technology. I'm pretty sure people would use cars even if they were named wheelboxes.
The dash name was voiced by many in the community. Brick and mortar businesses as well as other businesses where looking for a name that was descriptive of what it was(DASH-digital cash) yet neutral. There was a lot community pressure for this for a long time. Many of you here have not been part of the long time discussions, other then Anon who's been here a long time. At the end....lets leave his decision as his own and respectfully move on.
