In the "link checking point of view":

  Well, I think that some people know the CMFLinkChecker already. So, a
  likewise called product name for Silva would be a nice move. But, you
  made the initial development of the SilvaReferenceChecker. If you think,
  better to rely on your product, because the Silva world recognizes this
  as a product for link checking, we should use this name.

If you already consider to enhance this product to a full reference
management suite, I think "SilvaReferenceManager" would be more
suitable.
