Leave it Pinkcoin!
Pink is too broad and confusing. When people hear I bought Pinkcoin today they become curious and are more encouraged to look it up and potentially invest in the idea themselves. Saying I bought Pink today. Pink? What could have been pink? anything but whatever it was I'm not really interested in the mystery pink item now I'm off to think about something else. That's a potential lost investor based off confusion.

You have a valid point. But on the flip side, there is the stigma of colorcoin... to be in the same basket with blackcoin, blucoin, yellowcoin, orangecoin and even whitecoin, and pink being the least preferred "color". As far as I know, people tent to abreviate almost instinctively and casual conversation tend to have teh coin being called pink, rather than pinkcoin. We certiainly cannot control the public usage. This is just a poll to guage whether or not to eleminate the word "pinkcoin" from the websites, ANN page, etc. End of the day, it will be called whatever they are comfortable calling it
Eg: Dogecoin is popularly known as doge, but Litecoin or Peercoin is not known as Lite or peer.
