I would be tempted to use a prefix like tsf or twsf so there is a closer association to the Twisted Software Foundation, the entity that is the custodian of Twisted. I know little about trademark law (especially in the U.S) but I think there are benefits when the legal entity and the product/service share a name (trade name)
