Thank you for bringing this up. I chose the name Kandalf as more or less a 
temporary name. My reasoning went something like this: "Most AI chatbots have a 
human-sounding name; Kandalf is not in use and would make a fine name. I can't 
think of anything better myself, and I don't want to reuse Konqui, so I'll go 
with Kandalf."

If you have suggestions for names, please leave them below.
