I think it should be called YUM. Nothing wrong with having a new version of Yum, especially when we have a new version of Centos with many strange differences (if not alien concepts) called C7.
Keep it simple, besides Yum is a nice and very familiar name which we all trust and appreciate.
DNF is a fork of yum that involves a nearly total rewrite. yum development continues.
