I don't think it was nasty at all. If you'd spent more than 30s on it you'd know that "wordsmith" already means "a skilled writer" and thus doesn't match the function of the tool you are describing. Names that appear to describe the function of a thing but don't are IMHO, the one of the worst kinds of bad names. You're better off with something that is either completely divorced from the underlying functionality or describes it correctly.
