Wonderful.
dwm, dmenu, and st.
Good naming is required to have code of good quality. These name are too short, they lack of clarity.
A good name is concise, give the point, and is pronoucable.

dynamic window manager, dynamic menu, suckless terminal
The names are all very clear once you know the naming convention.
Seems like enough to me.
dmenu: Since it’s coming from the same place as dwm, it’s probably a menu app that goes well with it.
st isn’t obvious, I agree, but it makes sense to give a short name to the program you use most frequently.
These names can't be easily understandood without context. And these name will be found without context: For exemple, you may meet this name in a process list. In this case you don't understand why the process "dwm" is eating a lot of gpu power.
A variable name can be short, because it's name will be found in it's context.
A ha! One of today's Lucky 10000... https://xkcd.com/1053/
Googol or goggles, it's still just a typo someone decided to keep in mind for a name.
edit: they had that mobile app called that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Goggles
We name products with odd name because they are products, you want to be different.
Parts of this product are rarely named differently, a windshield is still called a windshield, not a "wdsd".
Embraer calls it's Side-Windows in the Cockpit DV's (Direct Vision)
SSD's have no Disk.
My WM is called i3 my File-manger Thunar or MC..Firefox whatever that is, git? Java? Go? C the successor of B..

>sometimes called a solid-state device or a solid-state disk
Embrear does marketing, adding shiny names make it look better, it's like retina, it mean nothing but people think it mean it's a good screen.
IMO i3 is badly named, I did read it multiple time _in context_ and I only found out later that it was a window manager..
git, java, go and c and are pronouncable name and are most of the time in context.
It's funny that you put firefox in the middle, because when an old person I know started to use computers for his first time, I learned him to use Chrome. When I came back several week later, he was using Internet Explorer. Why ? Because it's called Internet Explorer and he forgot about chrome.

With git your are right
>because when an old person I know started to use computers for his first time, I learned him to use Chrome.
That's why you exchange the Chrome icon with the Internet explorer one, but let's just call everything Browser or WWW-Explorer ok?
> I did read it multiple time _in context_ and I only found out later that it was a window manager..
Then work on your internal memory system and try to use a search-engine, and don't blame others for it...btw i3 is also a Car, not that your even more confused when someone wants you to show you a i3 in a Parking slot.
Ah the good old "the tool is not wrong, you are".
Don't search any further why Desktop Linux distribution are still less used by common people than Windows or Mac.
I choose the tool i like most and that is FreeBSD. And i really give a crap about common users. Who btw use iOS or Android and NOT Windows or Mac, different tools for different jobs.
BTW you know what Metal and DirectX is? And VisualStudio is NOT another Photoshop.
