We had a big go-round on the name a while back:

https://github.com/whit537/www.gittip.com/issues/138

We decided (in part) that "gittip" doesn't mean anything at all to non-geeks. "All names are stupid until you become rich and famous with it." http://barry.warsaw.us/software/laws.html

We'll reopen the name discussion when either GitHub or Oprah complains.

Why would Github complain? They very much do not have a monopoly on the word "git"!

I bet they'd be disappointed if Oprah confused the two. :^)

Let's hope she does some day.
