And? Git is "idiot" in British parlance. I don't think software should be made to appease some false idea of corporate politeness.

To note, I'm not judging if it's a good name or not, I'm saying it starts with a handicap. I didn't put it in that order, but more than politeness[0] I'd assume using a popular character might not be the best for searchability, or being taken more seriously than a fan project.

GIMP's name definitely hurted it before there was enough acceptance of it. Ultimately I think most names will work out if the project gets past a critical mass.

[0] I assume you put the sexy aspect into "politeness" ?
