Hi CJ!

The main problem with the name is that it encourages other people to
name their thing with Tor in it too. And then we end up with a bunch
of projects all confusingly named Tor, some of which really shouldn't
be and some of which are probably fine, and it's hard for users to tell
which is which.

So yes, I understand that you like the name, but it will contribute
to more chaos and confusion down the road. Please pick something else.
Historically, we have encouraged people to use names with the more generic
word onion, or onion routing, or "or", to signify that they're not Tor.

I bet people here would be happy to help you brainstorm about names if
you need input. :)

Thanks!
