Well, I suggested the main name of the project to be PIPE2 because both
the old development website [1] and the current one [2] refer to it as
PIPE2.

I agree with you, all these versions seem confusing, but I find 'pipe'
to be a name too generic. At least, 'pipe2' usually returns better
search results with your favorite search engine than simply 'pipe'.
