It's short, memorable, and easy to pronounce. I'd say it's pretty good for a name.
Indeed, I also think the name is good.

Bitcoin is definitely a misleading name.
Coins are indivisible units of a currency. Bitcoins are not.

Telling people that there will never be more than 21 Million Bitcoins always rings the alarm bell "there won't be enough".

OTOH, I couldn't think of a better, catchy name.

Just think of how stupid the name "Google" was when they started to use it.

Doesn't matter now.  In the long run the name is only as stupid as the thing that it represents.

Satoshi could have called these Bozo Tokens and by the end of next year nobody would think it was silly anymore.

It`s better that BBQ Coin at least. What I kind of have an issue with at this point is the `coin` part, but too late to change now.

I haven't run into anyone who thinks its a funny name. I think twitter would have to be the least serious and odd name, but they are doing just fine haha.

The market seems to think that it is acceptable.

I think the name is one of the reasons people don't take us seriously. When I tell them about it, they're like hmm "funny name"... Surely there must be better alternatives.
