I like "Mastodon" because it's awkwardly long and just sort of sticks out this way, but it's still kind of bad-ass. As a counter-culture social network, not like a silicon valley company, I think it fits well.

"Toot" is cutesy and kind of lame, more of the usual I'd expect from the Free Software world. But I don't love the idea of changing it to "posts". I'd rather they find a different clever name.
