I like the name of Blender. I know Ton Roosendaal gave it that name based on some popular band in Sweden. However, I think the name fits the software itself rather perfectly in many aspects. Some of the tools and addons found in Blender were inspired by features from all sorts of different open source projects, as well as stuff found in big-name software packages back in the day. For example, Blender has some of the parametric modeling features found in 3dsmax (modifier stack workflow), some viewport and UI elements that XSI used to have, and some modeling and animation features originally found in Maya and MotionBuilder respectively. I can see workflow similarities with Blender that use bits and pieces of the best stuff from all of them! Not to mention Blender is still a package which has many different purposes. It can do 3d, 2d, video editing, material creation, sculpting, all from within one unified interface. No more need for "round-tripping" your work into half a dozen different software apps just to finish a project. Of course, I still use several apps to get jobs done, but with Blender, that's now a choice, not a necessity.

On the other hand, if I had to pick another name for it from your list, I like Inception 3d. That has a certain class to it I think.
