Related; I wish people would stop picking such names for their products / companies. Nowadays if I read anything about DevOps, I start to feel like I'm reading something about naval fleet command. Or the other day I saw that headline and thought about Mars terraforming project, only it turned out to be a configuration management software. sigh.

Strange you should say that I was going to call my Mars Terraforming project Configuration Manager.

Perhaps by the time we get to the level where we're doing mass geo-engineering, all the cool trademarks and names will be gone :(

That's why such projects will use their vast artificial intellect to name themselves things like "Just Read The Instructions" and "I Thought He Was With You" :)

Unfortunate Conflict Of Evidence is my favourite.
