"Twitter" sure, but if they discourage tweet, it's a new thing. You used to be encouraged to use tweet in your app name instead of twitter. Remember, they didn't officially call them "tweets" until recently(ish). You can even register twitter names with "tweet" in them, not "twitter."

From Twitter's Help Center [1]: You may: * Name your website, product, or application with something unique. Uses of Tw-, and Twit- are generally okay with us. * Feel free to include language on your site explaining that your application is built on the Twitter platform so people understand your product. * Use Tweet in the name of your application only if it is designed to be used exclusively with the Twitter platform. You may not: * Use Twitter in the name of your website or application. * Use just "Tweet" or "Tweet" with a simple letter or number combination (for example, 1Tweet, Tweet, Tweets). * Register a domain containing twitter (or misspellings of twitter). * Apply for a trademark with a name including Twitter or Tweet (or similar variations thereof). * Use Tweet in the name of your application if used with any other platform. So the use of 'tweet' in an app name is allowed, if the app is a pure twitter client (not an app that integrates multiple social networks). You also have to agree not to trademark the name, if that name contains the word 'tweet'. [1] http://support.twitter.com/articles/77641 http://support.twitter.com/articles/77641
