It is certainly a name with potential. It fulfills all the points Inge mentioned - but one. It is not a good name for a software package that also ships a drawing (and photo editing) application as well as a vector graphics editor. In fact, "calligraphy" is very limited to a word processor. It has not much to do with spreadsheets or data bases or flowcharts. Bottom line is, good name, but not in our context.
