An abstract and decoupled name is good. We have a core user group that will direct the culture (as much as we try to influence it), so over time the name will come to mean something. Curiosity is a powerful driver.
Abstract name which resolves into small inside joke (or alludes to some meaning) for a user is much better (imo), like twitter with twits and birds, or reddit with read-it or lemmygrad as in lemmy/leningrad fusion, vox, verge, engadget, jacobin, current affairs, liberationnews, - they all have some slightly hidden or obvious meaning which tells their purpose alleged or not
But like I agree the name change is probably good idea. I just think the end name is too abstract/decoupled from anything.
