Doesn't sound like a great plan really. If I were you I'd work harder with the domain owner to get control. It sounds like he's just hard to reach, not obstructive as such.

A name change is a huge thing and you're diluting your userbase. I also think most of your userbase will consider such name changes a bad thing as rebranding is a major marketing tool of big business which a lot of us would be sceptical of.

I think you do good work but your name is already perfect.

For context, we did bring this up with Burung Hantu, when he was around about 6 months ago. We offered to buy the domain.

The exact details were discussed more here:

Fair enough, I didn't realise it was that bad. It wasn't possible to contact him some other way though?

We don't have any contact details but matrix, email. He isn't responding to either.
