Just wanted to get your thoughts on this matter. Can the name of a project provide significant benefit or detriment to a project if it is appropriate/unappropriate or unattractive/attractive -sounding?
I am not sure how much of an impact it has.
Yes, it is very important and the team must think very deeply about what will be the name of their project. The main thing is it must really describe the whole project and its name must be catchy and not hard to remember. But the most important thing is the credibility and reputation of the team whether the community will trust and support them.
