That’s the only reason they named the software “Robinhood”.
Why not Robin Hood or some other unique or generic name?
Context matters. There simply isn't a risk for meaningful confusion here. So what's the issue exactly?
That space or the lack thereof is important.
To date I only know of two Robinhoods, the brokerage and the load balancer, and I only learned about the second with this thread.
I don't know about that. Why do you think people would not link a financial company to the folklore character famous for redistributing money? That's kind of disingenuous claim to me.
When I first heard about it, I actually assumed it was a reverse Robin Hood by taking money from the poor to give back to the rich type of scheme.
In fairness the load balancer presumably came first, but the point remains.
Or maybe not, try actually naming something sometime and you'll see. It's not easy to come up with something that fits all the requirements AND has never been used before.
And it's not like anyone is ever going to get confused and accidentally try and use Dropbox's internal load balancer to buy options on a stock or something. Or try and make a gambling app the star of their next hit movie for that matter.
