Hehe. We considered a nautical theme at one point but thought it was a bit overdone :-) (I’m a maintainer on rook)

Fun fact: Russian word for the corresponding chess piece is 'ladia' which is a big boat.

Rook is dutch for smoke. Steamboats emit smoke. Something something cloud.

Steamboat seems like an untaken/nautical/cool name for k8s project.

note also it has "k" in the name (despite it being at the end). So it's legit.
