Hello,
As XnViewMP approaches version 1.0 and therfore out of beta stage I think XnViewMP name should drop the "MP" and use something more name impacting.
We already know that XnView since the beginning is 'multi platform'.
These are names I that I suggest could be cool:
XnView next , XnView pro , XnView ultra , XnView plus
....I quite like the sound of "XnView plus"
Also a new name gives it stronger distinction away from the legacy 'classic' version.
I think this topic might have been discussed before. Just an idea not request.

Nice topic. Let me add my 2 cents:
XnView next, but what will follow next? XnView next next?
XnView pro, sounds like there is a basic version but this is not 100% correct.
XnView ultra, hmmm dunno......
XnView plus, dunno too.
How about ( I am just throwing these in, I don´t know yet if I like them)
XnView 2013
XnView 13
XnView2
XnView.next
XnView.pro
Maybe name it after the main colour of the icon: XnView Orange

Please don't hijack user's topics with your requests. A Linux version will come same as always.
This topic is not a request by me for a change of the application's name; it is a topic just showing an idea. An "Idea" and a "Request" are not the exact same. Yes the current "XnViewMP" name is fine but was just thinking of ideas. Thanks.

What I liked about this…
… was the superscripted “MP” (XnView^MP).

In my opinion, just name it XnView 2.x, replaces the old 1.9x

Great idea

so it would be like 'passing the torch' from one era of XnView to a new era of XnView.
So XnViewMP final version could become "XnView v2.1".....After the final XnView classic version 2.0. Excellent.
I remember Pierre saying somewhere that XnView classic would reach v2.0 and then cease development to migrate development on the MP versions....Or perhaps I misread.

Nice, but too similar to "MP"

So you will continue development on the standard version after 2.0? Will there be no end for the standard version?

...Would be a lot of work for you. I thought XnViewMP was the future.
I thought that the the standard version would get to 2.0 or 2.xx and then stop.
