Just my 0.02€ on this topic:

The name Thunar is good because:

a) it's another name for Thor, and so it has a meaning (I'm not in 
favour of meaningless names or names like Xf<argh>)
b) people will be able to find information about thunar very easily as 
there are only a few existing websites with thunar and these websites 
have low page ranks
c) the name is short enough to type it in case you want to run it from a 
terminal, and the name is rather unique, which eases auto-completion 
(unlike xf...), except for thunderbird users, tho

We won't need a name for the masses, as most users will simply click on 
the file manager icon in the panel or double click on a folder on the 
desktop and don't care for the file manager's project name. We need 
something unique, where it's easy to find resources -> b).

greets,
Benedikt
