I think Xara Xtensions sounds too much like a plugin and not a program customization tool. But Zart is good.

Okay, Barb—
Xara Xtender.
Kinda like Hamburger Helper, except it's for software and not for dinner, and it's tastier and less caloric.

I like Xtender
I can't say I like Xart or Zart.
EDIT: I really, really like Xtender.

The best name is what it presently named. Xara Registry Editor (XRE for shorthand) is my preferred name.
It would be good to dump the registry for present settings that can be set, a list from Xara Group of any items that might be readable by Xara products that are not in the registry by default (if any).

Mike - I'm thinking that this will be a clean code and interface effort not redo, and not based on Bill's or Steve's code/effort so it would not be appropriate or even probably legal to use the same name. That is why we are looking for a new name.
I wrote my last comment at the same time that you posted. I do like "Xoquili", except that it only means something to the old timers. And thanks, I am sure I will be calling on you for registry settings. And it will definitely be open source. I don't want to lose it again.
I don't think the name Xoquili is right for the project because while the intention to honour Bill is wonderful, it doesn't really say anything about what the program is or what it will do. I also think it is important not to let the desire to honour Bill overshadow the generous offer to the Xara community that Grace is making here.
As for suggestions for settings there may be some settings for the Shapebuilder/eraser tool that may be worth including, but it would probably be a good thing to wait for DP9 to be released before looking at that.

I can't say I like 'Xoquili'
If we do want to honour Bill, why not just use the name he preferred and used: Soquili
Or come up with something completely different.
What concerns me is that Steve Ledger hasn't come in with his opinions.
Also, same as many others have said, I am more than willing to help on the artwork side.
That's what I enjoy doing the most.

Just read all the posts on carrying on Bill and Steve's XaReg. It would be a fitting tribute to Bill, who I bet by now is having a chuckle about all the proposed new names being put forward for the new XaReg and what you could do and can't do But also, I bet he's pleased everyone is thinking about him and very pleased Grace came up with the idea of carrying on his legacy, now there's a completely new name!
