Please change the name of the app. I'm Swedish, and to me the name sounds really repelling.

Maybe someone could fork the application and rename it to something cool that I can use?

What do you think the app should be named?
How about "PGPal"?
You seriously can't do this yourself? Clone the repo and change the name using find-and-replace and run install. No need to insult.
That won't mitigate the PR damage involved. A fork would need to actually just plain outcompete the original app.
Sorry, did not mean to insult. Just stating how I interpreted the name.

There seems to be a number of forks already (currently 12).

Many people will fork just to keep a backup.
