I'm the project founder and also dislike it. I admit it was one of the first things that came to my head(The name was inspired by some of @Shougo plugins). If I knew the project would get so popular, I would have put more thought into it. Too late now :(
I hope eventually the community will just use the 'nvim' abbreviation to refer to Neovim, just like 'vim' is 'vi improved' abbreviated

I really can't wait till it's done! > I hope eventually the community will just use the 'nvim' Is there a chance the project might choose a different name? If not, nvim isn't so bad. It could be better, though. A good name is important.

- ehsanu1 12y agoThere isn't usually too much confusion, at least among users, about the different between vi and vim. Also, have never heard of nvi, whereas nvim seems like it's going places.
