Calling it anything mine-related is stupid, because then people get the Minecra* mindset. I've played Minetest and played with it for so long because it's flexible: let's change the name to reflect that.
InfiniTest, maybe?

WTF?! Changing the name is a really BAD idea. Minetest is getting popular and you don't have a better idea than renaming it? minetest.net for example is rank 229,391 (worldwide) now. Everyday multiple videos of Minetest are being uploaded to youtube, etc.
There is a "problem" with game and engine? ok, but then change the game structure. The current one is anyway senseless (build, minetest, minimal, survival). Kick minetest and minimal and the problem is solved.
-> That are my 2 cents about that!

- it implies the game is free and open source
- it's a sandbox game (you can do whatever you want)
- it's fast to pronounce :P

It's funny though how every american seems to be completely uncomfortable with the word "test", while for every other part of the world it's remarkably fine.
