Navigator is (was) a gr8 name.
Too bad it's now left in the dust...
I also like the simple name of "Omniweb".
Safari is, as already mentioned, in the same style as Navigator and Explorer. IMHO, Apple would have done well NOT to have gone that route but keep it simple, like in the style of Omniweb.
I don't know what have been best and I understand that many minds have tried to crack it, but Safari seems too much a "I don't know.... let's take on these traditional names referring to navigating / exploring the web, and make one up that seems in line".
OTOH, it is so familiar now, that we refer to any iOS and OS X update as "Safari IS snappier!"
