Personally I think a name change would be a good idea. The project owes some inspiration to Roam, but it needn’t tie itself to the identity. I also foresee us being able to do many more things than Roam due to the extensibility of Emacs.

I would love to hear some ideas for alternative names. One I’ve thought of is “ergo”.  
To call the systematic organization of one’s knowledge a “roam” sells it short. Ideas are a consequence of other ideas. I’m sure we could also come up with a backronym that nods to Roam’s inspiration as well:

**E** macs **R** oam **G** raphing + **O** rg  
etc.
