so long as Hassy doesn't have the connotations GIMP has, then yes, it is a much better name

The GIMP name helps the project associate two basic ideas in its user's minds,
So when I hear the project called GIMP, my mental association with that project is "Broken, unintelligent, creepy". As such, I keep with the less feature-rich (and also badly named for virtually opposite reasons) Paint.Net.
Then, I remember using the GIMP software in college and I do remember that it was difficult to use and telling people about it getting me weird looks. So that helps reinforce "broken, unintelligent, creepy". It's just not a good name for 2018!
What if you called it Hassy? Is Hassy a good name?
