Idea 1

Maybe I should rename the project to desk

Pros

  • Bench brings to mind some idea of benchmarking
  • A workbench is were you work. A desk is where you study and solves exercises
  • Desk seems like a more unique name

Cons

  • Desk could seem to reference desktop in the GUI sense

Idea 2

Maybe a more exquisite name would work better.
No meaning attached, but would be easier to not be confused with some other tool, library or concept.

  • Keep the name short, for faster typing (3-5 letters)
  • Find something memorable
  • Find something that can be typed withouth great effort (ergonomics)
    • Avoid the little finger.
    • Maybe using only the index and middle fingers
    • Avoid repeated letters (in sequence)
    • Prefer alternating fingers
    • Only words with vowels (counting w an y)

Curiously, bench is one of the results.
