This gets my second vote.  My first vote goes to plain "MTN".

Regarding the configuration dir, I think it should be ~/.monotone on 
Unixy things, %APPDATA%\monotone on Win32 and whatever VMS likes on VMS. 
   Basically, follow convention and use the full name.  When, inside a 
source tree, I find an "MTN" dir, I can make a good guess at what it is. 
 When I find .mtn in ~, that's (imho) a somewhat longer pause to 
remember what the hell .mtn was.  (OK, not if I'm using it daily --- but 
if I'm someone who checked something out with monotone once, 6 months 
ago...).  It just seems more polite to use the full name here...
