You should consider renaming. There's a popular theme for Jekyll with the same name[0].

A lot of derivatives of Jekyll have name conflicts since many are grabbing from the same source, the book Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

There is a character called Dr. Hastie Lanyon which is were I grabbed the name for both my projects.

Also, they're both somehow related to Markdown.
It's an endemic problem in Go community. The language itself was named Go despite the fact that another language named Go already existed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go!_%28programming_language%29
There is also Go, Thoughtworks Continous Integration Platform.

(although it came later)

And also an ancient board game. Interesting that the author of Go! asked Go to change their name in one of the first bug reports, but they refused. Some people propose calling Go "Issue 9" to avoid confusion. It's probably more Google-able too.

It's named "Go!", though. Must be an imperative language. What we really need is a third programming language named "Go?", the query language.
