I actually have no problems with the name "GIMP", nor do I care if the
authors choose to change the name, just as long as it doesn't happen often.

I agree with your other two points also. I'd hate to have to start
referring to "bigots" as "Persons of Prejudice" or "zealots" as the
"Moderationally Challenged" ;-). The open source community usually has a
good sense of humor, and although I thought "GnuImage" was a
tongue-in-cheek sort of suggestion, I made the post anyway since it
could actually be a viable compromise if the name Really Needed to be
changed.
