Are you joking? You emailed him and then launched your project with his name on it without waiting for a reply?
The dude doesn't own the name Zooko just 'cause his parents named that, if he has a problem with it the dev can remove the part of the README that mentions it's named in honor of him. That doesn't mean this Zooko person (my first time hearing of him) can demand or should demand the name of the project change.
My 2 cents but you seem a bit too incredulous over it.
Why are you commenting here if you don't know who Zooko is? That's like commenting on US history without knowing that the US is a country. How could your opinion possibly add anything of value?
Oh and yes obviously I'm familiar with Zooko's triangle.
