i don't think it is as good as it sounds. In several languages (e.g. German)
"Handy" is used as a synonym for "Cellphone". That would lead to some confusion...
I vote for "Familiar", it is short, simple and i think it is the best
established name of an OE-based distribution. The only disadvantage i see is
that choosing it could discourage all the people working for OpenZaurus and
OpenSimpad.

Greetings

Florian
