I personally find googling a project far more useful, and there appear to be no conflicts with your new proposal, other than the fact that another project, Echo, seems to have floated the same potential name. As long as we clarify with them that they haven't/won't adopt that project name we should be fine. The end goal is little to no ambiguity when someone googles a given ASF project, after hearing something about it that attracts their interest. We don't want any project to be lost in the noise.
