I have no stake in this, but maybe just drop the 'p'?

GIM avoids the slur but is still very close to the current name.

Plus as an added bonus we can have the 'gif' pronunciation disagreement!

easy enough to resolve, since the G stands for GNU just pronounce it the same as that, and since GNU stands for GNU'S not UNIX, it pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU, which pronounces G the same as GNU
