Going by the 'standard' having a unique name for file browser makes
sense. It will feel inconsistent otherwise. Also for people who
install more than one file browser, similar names would be frustrating.
i propose 'Magellan' if people are convinced not to use Marlin.

I agree with Christian. I know Canonical will be considering
Marlin for 12.10, and I think it will be good if the name is
distinctive. 'Files' or 'Briefcase' is the opposite of
distinctive; Files is also being used as a name by Gnome Shell
(for Nautilus), and remember briefcases from Windows 9x? It's fine
if you use 'Files' for the application as you use 'Terminal' for
Pantheon Terminal, but the name itself should be unique.

I think "Files" is a fine name; it's not made to be a
particularly cross-platform app, and any time in doubt you
could call it by it's more specific name, "Pantheon Files."
Similar to how "Terminal" is really "Pantheon Terminal." But
in this case I think naming it what the user would expect is
more advantageous than the potential branding opportunity.
In fact, it could even be a bigger "branding" opportunity;
imagine if Ubuntu moved from Nautilus to Pantheon Files! It'd
be the best of both worlds because developers would hear about
Pantheon while users would get a more sensible name.

I do think that Marlin is kind of a silly name that won't
make sense to anyone who isn't a big geek about Linux File
Managers :p
Not terribly concerned with promoting outside of
elementary though, tbh. You know me :p

I think "Files" is a bad name. It may make sense to
display in the UI,
but it's a mess when you want to actually discuss
Mail, Files, Session
and Launcher - you get the idea. Not to mention it's
impossible to
promote outside of Elementary.
