"Bitcoin" is indeed a very good name for a crypto-currency. But there are already some other existing cryptocurrency names that are interesting and nearly on the same "quality level". (I talk here only about the names, nothing more).
"Monero" is an example. The name leads to associations with "money" or "coins" in many world languages: English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and even German. That's an advantage versus Bitcoin, although Monero lacks the connection to "bits and bytes".
"Peercoin" is also a very good name, because it relates to the Peer to Peer principle. In my opinion, it's on the same level than "Bitcoin".
"Ethereum" is also not bad. It sounds a bit "nerdish", but the name looks like that of a precious metal or a rare chemical element.
Dash, NXT, NEM, Ripple and Steem are particularly bad names. Also "Bytecoin": In my opinion, it sounds like a copycat. If there is a Bitcoin established as a brand, then "Bytecoin" will be to Bitcoin as Adibass to Adidas, for example
A crypto's name is like a business card for a company. It does not make the crypto any better or worse technically, but it has an impact on the crypto's reputation and a crypto's reputation has real value. For example, a crypto that has a copy-cat name suggests the crypto cannot provide any innovation, just wanna copy the other crypto's success. In this example, people would prefer the original over the copy. So, name will not make any crypto #1 or last, but it has impact on its reputation.
