I don't like renaming things as much as the next guy, but they're targeting an international audience. Ask a Chinese/Japanese/Arabic/whatever speaker if it's easy to pronounce (it is for me, but that's because I speak relatively passable English; judging from past experience, my friends would certainly find this name unpronounceable).

I understand, and it happens to me that some project names are difficult to pronounce. Doesn't mean they are difficult to write or remember, though.

I still don't believe that it is a reason to change it and deal with the confusion that comes from that change.
