Could someone advise a new name for my Pinterest app?

I'd change it to Easynip to minimize the pain of transition, but whatever you end up going with, don't forget to milk this for every scrap of media coverage you can get.

Hi WiseWease, Thanks very much for your suggestion, we decide to use EasyNip as the new name.

I'm glad you liked it. I don't need any gifts, but I appreciate the sentiment.

You might be able to get some free media coverage if you make a blog post explaining that Pinterest is forcing you to change your name, maybe include the relevant text of the C&D they sent over, indicate a possible loss of business and customers, and give it a title like "Pinterest Claims To Own The Word 'Pin'". Then email tech bloggers and media publications and hope they pick up your story. Everyone loves a good David vs. Goliath story.
