That's right! I forgot that she and Q had an encounter. That ep also brought out that she did not always go by the name Guinan. Hmmmm. Perhaps Q was interested in her because of her duel existance in real time as well as within the Nexus...

I never understood the Guinan/Q relationship and I wish they had fleshed it out. I've always wondered why an all powerfull being with god-like powers would fear her. In the novel "Q-Squared" he even told Trelane not to mess with Guinan.
I would love for them to reveal that she isn't what she seems at all.

Maybe Guinan is like Picard's living guaridan angel, in a sense, but he has no knowledge that she is there to protect him.

Even if there is another movie, I doubt that they'll mention it. I would be surprised if Guinan were even there at all.
As for her name change, she's apparently visited quite a few places. Perhaps Q met her on some planet where "Guinan" wouldn't have been an appropriate name, so she changed it. Or, better yet... Maybe, since she used the name Guinan on Earth in the 19th century, she started using it again when she met Picard. That way, when the events of "Time's Arrow" happened (which she already knew about), Data wouldn't find her using a different name on Earth (or possibly not find her because of the different name).

Is there any evidence that Guinan is even on the Enterprise E? Given the apparent lack of families and the fact that they were at war when the ship was launched, I would say she's not. Although, she was aboard during the Klingon War in the events of "Yesterday's Enterprise".
