The origin of the name comes from the fact that it started as a Lua project. In Lua (Portuguese for moon), everyone loves any "moon" related names or puns for their project. As such, "Lunatic" fits right in.

As someone who has family members with mental health issues, I don't find the term offensive at all.

I, for one, by default think more of someone who's obsessed with the moon, I guess it's because I never read that article, so I've never been told to be offended by it.

All that said, I do hope that the authors understand that they might be fighting an uphill battle with regards to adoption.
