The juvenility of people astounds me.
If there are people in the community purposely ignorant of the French entomology and using the similarity to "cock" to troll or harass others does the project changing it's name even help? Those people are still present. Perhaps cutting off such an avenue does reduce toxicity but it feels like catering to the lowest common denominator. Is it too much to expect basic decency these days?
Not to mention the English normative focus. Have there been other large projects that felt the need to change their name because of connotations in languages other than English?
