Name Overload?

First there was Debian Planet then along came the Planet Debian, unfortunate naming collision, but something we could mostly get used to and understand.

If you're not confused yet: well done. You soon will be:

• http://www.planetdebian.com

Guess which site that is? A third completely new name comprised of the two words "Debian" & "Planet".

WTF?

Think that was fun? Lets try again. Stick with me:

First there was Debian Help - now there's another new site which is comprised of the two words "Debian" & Help>

• http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/

Ugh

Now I'm personally of the opinion that competition is a good thing, but please people - can we all just get along without confusing our users/visitors?

I'll sidestep the whole trademark issue, in case my site is in trouble too ;)
