I'm always surprised at how quickly people will dismiss something just because of a name. I once wrote a bug tracking system/wiki for my company to replace the terrible one that we had been using. It did everything we needed and was much nicer to work with, but the reason people gave me for why we never used it was that the name sounded funny. It was a made-up word, totally an afterthought. sigh
A friend of mine made a similar point about GIMP. I'd never thought about it that way. What a shame to be hindered by such a terrible name choice (in GIMP's case).
