For anyone who thinks this was easy.

We wanted something short.

We wanted something that should be easily pronounceable in most languages.

No acronyms either.

Then there must be no trademark in the software sectors, search tools for this:

http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/
https://www.tmdn.org/tmview/welcome

Then if it survives that there must be a decent top level domain available

No way it was easy and the arguments are pretty pointless. Most of us will simply get used to it -- the software is still awesomely awesome.

I just think Kodi means the warm fuzzy developers who create this fantastic software for us to use

Keep up the great work, Kodi rocks my whole house

I have to add that many also wanted to get rid of the X, because it will ALWAYS be associated with the Xbox.

No X
No acronyms
Not trademarked
Easy to pronounce in all/most languages
Needs major domains available
No reference and resembling what so ever to XBMC, xbox and so one..

Yeah sure. That will work. No wonder we didn't ask users because of the suggestions we would get. Thanks for proving our point
