I'm pretty sure the dev does not want to rebrand at the current moment, or at least isn't taking suggestions for a rebranding title yet. Time will tell!
Yes, it's at a vulnerable state. Exchanges do host IFLT, people know it under this name, and it has a community. I would not push it down the throat of everyone, but as LTC will introduce Lightning, maybe there could be a similar way to move away from the "Inflation" term. Maybe it could just keep the IFLT and name it "Incredible Faster than Light Thing"

....ideas would be great.
