I'm all for cutting Camelot out of the title. I don't think it really encoumpasses the time frame or factions involved. Perhaps someting a bit more general. The Tuatha Dé Danann are ancient compaired to the other two factions. Still all are European and Legendary to some point. The Vikings are about the only faction that is a mix of fact and mythos. The Arthurians are sort of fact and fiction, to the extent that it is possible that Arthur and the knights of the round existed at some point. The setting would probably be the English Isles. All the factions were in England, Scotland, and Ireland at some point or another. Just throwing out some inspiration.
Maybe,

Should it have Camelot in it to attract more ex-DAoC players or should it be more neutral?
The abbrevation should also sound cool. DAoC and CU are fine. "Crusaders of Camelot" would be disastrous.
Camelot Unchained is perfectly clear to me. Dark Age of Camelot has been chained to EA and swept under the rug of mediocrity. It lost its soul ages ago but has enough value to impress a new IP. The live DAoC won't even grant players an Origins server - which was the final tell tale sign in my book that the company was not concerned with their community's wishes. They didn't mind collecting a check from subs - but they have proven they have no interest in granting a large % of subscribers what they asked for: Origins, a classic Mile Gate based server where we could all get a fresh good old fashioned start.
My opinion they should move away from the "Camelot" term, because it gives the impression that the game is mideval realistic themed rather than fantasy theme.

Soo... Merlin and Morgana... Wizards, Excalibur, the Sword in the Stone, the Lady of the Lake, Dragons... none of that seems fantasy to you?

Dark Age of Camelot
Nothing alluding to DAoC. This game won't be anything like DAoC.
Unless they want to call it "Dark Age of Camelot Rip-off Online"
How about:
The Billy Bob Slaughter Fest
or
Arthur's Back and he's Mad....
or
Lance a Lot
or
El Petchuka's Revenge
or
Democrats vs. Republicans vs. The Tea Party (three realms)
Nooo! Its too Perilous!
