To me this reply finalizes that we should not go for choosing a new name.

3 opinions expressed, among group which normally tends to agree upon easy, and we already 2,5 opinions.

It is either another quest for the holy name, since there will be no one leading opinion, even among in council, or keeping it - and using acronym

though simply keeping as is - not a good choice (reasons I have listed before)

imho
