Sorry if this topic is too silly for HN, but a recent jobs listing site submitted to HN shared the name with a serious psychological disorder. It's unfortunate, but also funny - the idea of people spending a great deal of time and thought to produce something and unknowingly giving it an objectionable or obscene name. For example, there is a recommendation engine called TasteDive which started out as "TasteKid". Does anyone recall other examples here on HN?<p>One show HN-submission a few years ago that I recall but haven't been able to trace since was a database startup with an inadvertently obscene logo. The logo was a cartoon beaver or otter lying on it's back, waving, supposedly. Commenters on HN pointed out that it looked like the beaver was "air-fellating", which cheapened the landing page a bit. Anyone remember what I am talking about?
In its early startup days, BorderWare firewall used to be called Janus, until they tried to market it to their partners in Sweden, who kept pronouncing it like Anus.
