Did some searching this morning and found another I like almost just as well, and might be more fitting: Erebus.
Actually, I'm warming up to Nyx too, which has the advantage of being shorter. Surprisingly it too doesn't have much in terms of conflicts (mostly just cosmetics and gaming).
Both Nyx and Erebus might make really good names. Curious to hear how the community feels about these.
Nyx sounds fine to me too (as does Erebus). I assume you have considered and determined to not be too significant that many people use *nix (sp?) when they want to refer generically and collectively to various flavors of Unix-like OSes. I'm mentioning it just in case that slipped under the radar, so you are making a conscious decision that you're happy with. In fact I think this is a point in its favor. I don't think the common use of *nix hurts because in print I doubt anyone would use 'Nyx' for what I just described (although check out the usage collision astronomers had for 'Nyx' and 'Nix') , and in verbal conversation it is easy to separate context. (Probably nobody will be talking about the delousing product ;>)
