Well, starting completely from scratch would require even more thought.
I would lean away from anything that is overly Apple-branded, such as
Cocoa, because it's as out of our control as the NeXT naming was.
Better would be something like "Objective-GNU", which hits the
underlying technology more.
Still not good from a user perspective, though, because they essentially
have no exposure to those things. It again all comes down to the
question of what the project really, really wants to be. Right now, it
is a very inside-the-box, non-differently-thought reimplementation of
what Apple is doing. Bigger aims would require a bigger rebranding.
