Thank you for bringing this up. I chose the name Kandalf as more or less a temporary \
name. My reasoning went something like this: "Most AI chatbots have a human-sounding \
name; Kandalf is not in use and would make a fine name. I can't think of anything \
better myself, and I don't want to reuse Konqui, so I'll go with Kandalf."

If you have suggestions for names, please leave them below.
