Playing it safe with a less polarizing name might limit the downside, but it significantly limits the potential upside for a party that needs to grow the tent if they want to win government in the next election cycle. And it's the "excited" boosters that can make the biggest difference. 17% excited compared to just 3-4%? That's a landslide win for a Nenshi-led NDP compared to low voter turnout for anyone else.

I would argue that it is easier and better to start with a smaller population hating you and work on building support by getting out into the community and doing the grassroots stuff than it is starting with a larger group that hates you and will potentially put on an aggressive drive to dismantle you.
