I have never worked at or heard of a company caring about the names of software, at most it's been a bit of a chuckle. Best guess is being concerned about software names is a super conservative culture thing.

Perhaps not directly in a review.

Names can be troublesome though, badly named products get caught in spam filters, or blocked in some firewall blacklist.

I do believe you, but be honest, both of us could come up with an easy half-dozen names for software that if spoken out loud at work or triggered a filter on the network at the office would have someone explaining to HR what the hell is going on.
