For those kids, maybe that's a more important thing for them to learn? I mean, so many future encounters will be affected by their ability to not turn everything into crude sex jokes, compared to the number of circumstances where it will benefit anyone for them to know about theorem provers.
Maybe that's a bit too touchy-feely, but from a more ruthless, "only the course material matters" perspective, fine, let the kids who can't get over the name suffer the consequences. The kids who take it in stride will have an advantage. Nothing wrong with that.
