I wouldn't rename it, because it will confuse many people & they might think it's just altcoin.

I don't agree with that, coin is synonymous with money and sounds slicker >_<
You do realise that "there are no coins" in Bitcoin?
So it actually becomes rather hard to explain it to people when they fixate on the idea that there must be "coins" somewhere (some see pictures of "physical Bitcoins" and think that they are the actual currency).
And your name is just "lame" btw.
(supposed to be some sort of "jiao zai mao"?)
Actually "coin" was not really a very good choice (as Andreas M. Antonopolous has pointed out many times) as "coins" are a very bad metaphor for how Bitcoin actually works.
The problem with new technology is that "old words" just don't fit very well - so I'm guessing the name was chosen to basically make it clear that it is a type of "money".
So if it were to be renamed the "coin" part would be what I'd drop - maybe "Bitmoney" might have been better.

(to some extent I think the project eMunie has perhaps done a much better job with its name choice but I don't think that the name is really going to be the deciding factor)

the current name is great. I wouldn't want to change it even if I could.
Same here. The coin was named bitcoin by it's creator so even if I had the chance to rename it, I will just leave it as is.

I personally would rename it to yellowcatcoin
