Great project, which has sorely been in need of a better name.

"Luanti" works. Unique, pronounceable, alludes to Lua ties.

The "n" obscures the notional reference to "lua". "Lua" is two syllables, but "luan" is just one. The name makes me think 乱, not an element you'd want to include in the name of most projects.

Lu-anti seems like two syllables to me

Anti is two syllables, isn't it?
