It took us a very long time to find a good name which hadn't already been used, and the domain was still available. I also really like the logo we have, which I paid to have made. At this point it would be a total pain to change the name, but if you want to call it MiniCoin as a secondary name and redirect one or more of those domains to cryptonite.info I wouldn't be against it. Personally I just don't think changing the name would really benefit us very much, I think there are far more important things to focus on, and if the name is good enough now I see no reason to mess with it.

I'm sorry, but it's not a good name. You say it was chosen to avoid confusion, however there are many people who are confused because of the very name you chose (due to the already existing cryptonotes and cryptonight). The name does cause confusion while doing nothing to describe the function of the coin. Also, just because you paid for a logo doesn't make it good. It looks more like a 'v' than a 'c', imo.

My idea for a name: deoxyribonucleic acid. It's a really tiny chain, there's no way anyone is using this as a coin name, and you have an awesome ticker (DNA). I know, it sucks, but it's still better than cryptonite.
