“Quantified” or “Quantifiable Altruism” is a pretty good idea; the name sounds both nerdy enough to select for quant-skilled people, and less self-righteous than “Effective Altruism”.
Not sure about the word connotations (since I don’t know what a new person looking from outside would think), but the current name sounds more… friendly? Emotional? Positive? The letter “E” seems friendlier than “Q”. (This is probably not the right level of abstraction to base this decision on, but I figured nobody else would bring it up.)

(Side note: “EA” can make lots of people confuse us with a US-based video game company, while “QA” only makes a few people confuse us with a process step.)
“Quantifiable Altruism” wouldn’t work as we’ve moved away from this.
It would be “QA”, not “QE”
QA sessions.
Oops. Fixed!
