Hi Ed,
a) MG's forms library is not part of Twisted, it is a separate project. We cannot name it twisted.web.forms, and any name it does get reflects solely on MG and his organization, if it reflects on anything at all.
b) Even if it were in Twisted, "silly" memorable names are important to the popularity and even the usability of a project. Googling for "forms" will turn up a hell of a lot of unrelated stuff before it turns up this project, and talking about "forms" will probably result in a lot of confusion. Coming up with a more unique name for it is, in fact, so important that the Twisted coding standard explicitly provides an exception for the practice in the very first paragraph: http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/policy/coding-sta...
Coming up with names from a thesaurus and a dictionary is current best practice, not a sign of immaturity.

I think this would be a good opportunity for the Twisted project to show some maturity and use a name that is actually descriptive rather than "cute." Anything wrong with something that simply informs potential users of what the package is all about, like (gasp!) twisted.web.forms?
