 Why a rename? 
 Talking (verbally) about Nostur and nostr leads to confusion 
 Got it.  In fact "nos" and "str" prefix/suffix are really bad at brand level, they just dilute recognisability.
Pick whatever word you like, that is both short and evocative/meaningful for you. A tribute to someone you care is nice. Maybe use a non English language too.

Considering the desktop layout, and playing with the assonance, I would propose "Nastro", an Italian word than means tape/ribbon.
Now that I think about it, "NoteTape" is not bad at all! 
 Next to “Last” , as in , the last client you’ll ever need I think these names also make sense:

* Nested (as in , here you are home) 
* home (yes, as in I’m home with my fam) 
* Guilded (sounds luxurious, which it is 😊) 
* Fries (yes, a purposely misspelling of Friends or frens 😂. Also the logo is an emoji already🍟 . Also running on mobile fries your phone and data plan 😂)

 Nosty McNostr Face

 Trunote 
 Nostro (in Italian it means our) 
 Noster.  Original Latin 
 Pater Noster 
Pleb Noster 
 Pleb Noster 
 I like "Notefold" in general as a name for the stream of notes. So it could be a name for a nostr client too I guess? 
 How about Notestur?… maybe I’ll keep thinking on this 😋 
 Simple, straight forward and pays homage to the original. 
 Also entirely sarcastic, lest anyone accidentally take it seriously 🤣 
 Well now I must figure  out what you do so I can best help 🤣🤣🤣

Well played! 🙌

 My take for a new name: Sulwe 
 No stir 
 Insuperabilis

Loosely translated as unconquerable.  
 Nostrings

Northstar 

Netstr

 
 Stereo

"A place to blast your notes"

has that "str" sound from the end of nostr as well 
 Twittstr 
 Anostra
Nostropolis

 No star 
 Bitstr,
Includes Bitcoin +nostr.
Litstr,
Which combines Lightning+ nostr.
Cosmos, cosmostr
Stardust,
The Republic star, or republic
Stardom,
Strdom.
Anti-state/free state,
Nostate

Select, a name that remembers the republic-free state. Don't pick a name that's Democratic(as Congress is the opposite of progress). If we start with this base- the name will shine. 
 Here’s my idea:

Yap!

Yap has an important meaning in bitcoin, as it’s recognized as the island where a storied type of money was used, Yap stones, which rarely moved, but ownership and value were agreed upon by tribal consensus.

And also, the verb “yap” means excited chatter, exactly what goes on here. 
 Hahaha @arkinox has an idea 💡 😆 
 Yourstr 
 Desire  
 "Punk"

Owing to our Cypherpunk heritage.

Catnip 😼
