I like it. Kontact suite?

Using Addressbook instead of Contacts works when talking about the
suite. However, looking at the application...the sidebar menu looks
right with "Contacts", no replacement comes immediately to mind. I'm
in Gmail a lot; it uses "Contacts". From within the Contacts element,
"New Contact" and search are the only taskbar items. Maybe Addressbook
as the application and "Names" as the entries?
