I think it's worth asking, have those same lawyers yet stumbled upon The Shire?
I agree with the most recent postings about PHBs and the name "Hobbit", but I wonder if the lawyers would accept HOBBIT (as opposed to Hobbit or H.O.B.B.I.T.).  All caps would seem to imply it as an acronym, not needing those ugly periods.
I really like the name change case of Ethereal.

Ethereal -> WireShark

Now we have "hobbit" need to be changed.

hobbit -> hobbitmon
              hobbitmonitor (how about this one ? longer but no confusion)

I like the hobbitmon the best now but I am concern about the "mon"(mother) part when presenting the software.
Is hobbitmon.com owned by community member here ?
Just right after proposing "hobbitmonitor" naming, I grabbed the "hobbitmonitor.com".
This name will be donated to the hobbit community if we(Henrik) decide to use HobbitMonitor over hobbitmon.
