Yea I think this is tricky
- It will (I hope very soon) also do geocoding.
- I called it 'MapBox' specifically for the brand. I see it as an extention of tools to help people work with MapBox products in Google Docs. I could see calling it MapBox Tools for Google Docs, or even TileMill Tools... if you think that's more clear.
Generally in terms of branding though, I think it's important to keep this simple. I think it's better to tell a client or a potential open source user, "go to the Google Docs script gallery and download the MapBox plugin," than something like " ... download the GeoJSON exporter." To most users, the format GeoJSON is not even necessary information--just that this gets their data into a useable format for making maps.

I agree on avoiding the MapBox name because it overloads and confuses the brand. We already have people asking questions about "MapBox" and it's not clear if they are talking about the company or the iPad app.
In addition, this tool isn't exclusive to the MapBox tools--GeoJSON works with other tools. So calling it MapBox is a little misleading in that way.

@willwhite how do you feel about using TileMill in the name?
