Bitcoin is the protocol. The client protocol identifier needs a unique name. It is not a public name that anybody ever sees except protocol developers.

For instance with libbitcoin, there might be several clients using it, but they'd all have the same protocol identifier.

I think calling it Satoshi is apt homage to the person who made the original client reference protocol.

Satoshi
BitcoinCommunityOriginal
...

Take your pick.

What is "Satoshi 0.5" anyway? 0.5's server is bitcoind and GUI is Bitcoin-Qt; 
the wx GUI client is gone, which is more or less what "Satoshi" referred to in 
the past...
