Give a name to the CKB wallet extension

We want to build a CKB wallet extension, it needs a name

Background

Most dApps run in a web browser, and for security reasons, users generally use a wallet to manage their keys, rather than exposing them directly to the dApp. To send a transaction, the key needs to be used to sign it, so a wallet for a dApp will usually provide APIs for the dApp to communicate with the wallet, and for the user to confirm whether to perform the action.

So if we want to enrich the dApp ecosystem, the two most important features for wallets are interoperability and the ability to run in web.

MetaMask plays a very important part in the dApp ecosystem because MetaMask runs in web and MetaMask provides an easy-to-use API for dApps. If you have used dApps on CKB layer 1, such as Portal Wallet, .bit or some asset bridges, you will find that MetaMask is called when sending a transaction.

However, MetaMask is a wallet designed based on the account model and it works well with the account model, but CKB is using the UTxO model. While it is possible that we can simulate the account model in UTxO, this would make it difficult to exploit the advantages of the UTxO model.
