Why not just MyMoney?

I agree. The K thing gets beat into the ground. When everything on your menu starts with K, nothing is differentiated.

MyMoney is nice and simple. I vote MyMoney.

Love it!

The name KMyMoney would be fine to keep for this KDE personal finance
application (which unlike GNUCash, is not also for small businesses).
But here is a suggestion (from the person who once upon a time suggested
the name Krita (to replace Krayon)):

Krona

It is a currency (may become historical if the Euro keeps spreading).

Another good name:

Konto

Though I have no problem with KMyMoney (just skip the '2'),
I would also suggest:
Kapital
or how about
oKane
meaning money in Japanese.

Volker Paul

It was named Krayon? That makes so much more sense! I use and like Krita, but who knows what that name means. I guess this is a good thing to keep in mind with all of the name changes suggested here... people may still discover your application, but if the name is far enough off most of them will have no idea why such an odd name was chosen.

Krita is at least as understandable as Krayon, but in another language. Additionally, rita means draw. So the name Krita is better than Kdraw and Krayon would be together (because it krita means crayon). The name Krayon was already taken by a competitor.

For what it is worth there is a commercial product from MTH Software called "My Money".

I guess that is quite true. A name can only be relevant to as many people as understand the language it was taken from. at least now I know about why krita is the name. No matter which one is chosen, there will still be some folks who have no idea what it means. Not much you can do about that.

- but anything beats gnucash (I hate that name)

That's the reason I like KaChing. Yes, it does sound a bit like cashing (I hadn't actually thought of that before), but to me it's much more evocative of the sound of coins dropping. That's why I felt it was more international.

I associate the sound with old cash registers. I like.

Kaching is still English-only.
In Spanish, for example, that sound is called Clink. So, even the sounds are different.
