Moneta (a Goddess of wealth)
Moneta sounds good but its too much about money. Same thing as Plutus (the greek god of wealth); perhaps the name should be something more
Plus it sounds a lot like Monero.
it doesn't matter, Monero as word already existed before too
Let's not forget Monetas (
http://monetas.net/) is an already existing product in the crypto-currency realm. It's essentially a commercial implementation of the long established Open-Transactions (
http://opentransactions.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page) project. Having Moneta the CryptoNote based coin side to side with Monetas the Open-transactions 'coin' will create a fair bit of confusion.
Please developer, choose a name or make it clear you wish to keep the honeypenny or bulberry pimpernackel etc which everyone will just have to accept (I think most have just gotten used to it by now anyway) so the project can advance towards exchange listing.
hmm you are right, also I think the dev has a good bunch of new names to choose already.
