I don't care about SEO, but as an infrequent user I always liked that Riot was a snappy, two syllable, memorable name (I never forgot it). Synapse and Matrix are also easy for me to remember, I must add. I suspect I may forget Element--too close to a word I use every day (HTML elements, chemical elements, etc.) We'll see. Either way I expect I can get there by looking up "matrix client," of course.

EDIT: one -> two

Oh, sorry. I'm not a native english speaker.
