I had a project[1] that was named after a Pokemon. It was a mustache[2] parser so I named it Entei because he has a very fashionable mustache. I changed the name[3] to chevron because I didn't want to deal with Nintendo's lawyers.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/noahmorrison/chevron" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/noahmorrison/chevron</a>

Ever since learning how Java's Swing got its name[0], Pokemon are actually my go-to for project codenames. They're fun and memorable, and Nintendo is litigious enough that there's no way you can actually release something with the name of a pokemon.<p>[0] <a href="https://blogs.oracle.com/thejavatutorials/entry/why_is_swing_called_swing" rel="nofollow">https://blogs.oracle.com/thejavatutorials/entry/why_is_swing...</a>

I'm sorry but could someone explain to me the point of this?<p>I can see it be amusing to have repos with pokemon names, but for practicality, I would have no idea what they are for by reading the name.
