Maybe a name with a _shop suffix, such as Wilburshop ?? After all, there already IS GIMPshop (see http://www.gimpshop.com/) name-modeled after Adobe Photoshop.

Personally I like technical names. GIMP, Kmail, that way the name reminds me what it's function is. Useful in a long menu list, or when trying to remember "now what's the name of that ap again?"
