A vicious pleonasm that needs to be removed and rethought.

A bunch of programs starting with the letter K it's sounds like KKKK a Brazilian way of smiling on the internet.
Some programs like Kdenlive, Kate, Kamoso or KDE partition manager sounds good but why plasma need a KAlarm and not just an Alarm or Organizer, Mail Client, CharSelect, Mahjongg, Mines, Patient, ... ?
I think these are old concepts that are still dragging on in an environment that has become more modern where vicious pleonasms no longer fit.
I hope developers can see and re-evaluate this issue as I don't see in other operating systems the need to reaffirm the name of the desktop environment in program names.

This is not actionable and we have many applications that do not follow this pattern.
