[QGIS-Developer] Request for your opinion for the Shape Tools plugin name

I wanted your opinion on renaming the Shape Tools plugin - at least what it
is named in the QGIS menus.

http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/shapetools/

If I had thought it through in the beginning I probably would have named it
Geodesic Tools or something like that. The plugin is about creating shapes
where all distances are measured using shortest geodesic paths, densifying
lines and polygons using geodesic points on the line, and geodesic
measuring. I have other geodesic functions in the works. Its measurements
are based on geographiclib.

Right now it installs itself in the Vector menu as "Shape Tools." Do you
see any problem renaming this to "Geodesic Tools" or is there a better name
for people who may not know what Geodesic means?

Thanks for your input.
