Hmm, 'Momi' will be mispronounced by some English speakers as "mommy".

Also, many geeks will read foreign CV-ish names as Japanese, so it'd
be cool if it works as a bilingual pun.  In Japanese, /momi/ means
'fir tree' or 'unhulled rice'.  On the other hand /nani/ means 'what?',
which might work a little better for a wiki.
