Agreed.
It's less snappy that "nupedia" but I'd suggest something like "The Open 
Content Encyclopedia" or "The Wikimedia Foundation Encyclopedia".
It's fine to use the Wikimedia name even if it's non-editable, since 
it's made by the foundation. That neatly soves the problem of name 
dilution too.
