Well, let's talk about it!

I agree trademark probably isn't an issue.

"NoiseSocket" has been announced in DEFCON agenda and Twitter, so it
would be a bit confusing to change, I think.

I was coming around to "NoiseSocket".

We could justify the "socket" name since a socket is usually something
you plug stuff into (an IC, an electric plug), and in some sense
higher-level protocols still have to "plug in" the details of
negotiation_data, Noise pattern, and payloads.

Since I think you're the initial user and presenter of this you should
probably make the call, but I'm fine with NoiseSocket.
