That question is also easy to answer:
Because people are used to the "name".
Almost nobody knows or understands the word literally. The attendees
don't think like "I'm going to a minor meeting" but they think "I'm
going to a meeting (which is not the KLI's annual meeting) where I can
learn klingon and speak with others"
The Logo contains the word qepHom, the website is named qepHom.de, and
there's even a valid german wikipedia entry named qepHom for that same
reason.
It's not just a word anymore, it's a name - or you may call it a brand.
It would be silly to change it now after more than ten years.
