Calling an open source program Pixi when there is a commercial one Pixie is 
going to lead to some confusion between the programs. It could also result 
in a letter from the company behind the commercial program asking the open 
source project to change its name.

As to your first statement, I'm glad you like the program. Others have 
already commented on it being an acronym rather than a name. Thank you for 
the name idea. This topic comes up now and then. Bottom line is the name 
isn't going to change.
