      People have been complaining about The GIMP name for years, and several designers and artist have been reluctant about using it

      Do you have any source for this? Not that I don’t believe you but I think you are way over exaggerating this.

          I don’t mean to come off as rude but it seems that you don’t have any tangible evidence that GIMP is a problematic name, right?

          As for my anecdotes, just by looking at these drama threads you can see that big majority of people didn’t even know the alternative definition of gimp. The chances that someone knew the definition and stopped using the program because of it seem to be astronomically low, is it not?
