Why do you think this is relevant to the topic of whether it's okay to use the name "Chandler" after having already been used for another personal information management tool?
And yes it’s a TV character too, but Parent isn’t wrong to point out the name collision.
1. Knowing (or not knowing) that Chandler is a character on Friends has nothing to do with the comments here.
2. You are the woooshed. "Chauncey", "Bingaling", and "Miss [Chanandler] Bong" are all (semi-obscure) names that were used to refer to Chandler Bing at some point during the series. All suitable alternatives for a project codename. (Not that it matters, because, again whether one knows any of this has nothing to do with the issue being discussed. Your explanation is not exculpatory. It's not an affirmative defense. It's just... nothing. It's like a cow's opinion; it's moo.)
Try, like, reading or something.

Chandler has not only already been used for another piece of software, it has been used for something in what is roughly the same space. The other Chandler was discontinued >10 years ago, but I had to double check and triple check to suss out whether or not your Chandler is actually a reboot + a rewrite. And I'm still hedging (but I think the answer is "no, they're completely separate"). That's a confusing amount of similarity.
EDIT: it looks like this has been pointed out. Even though it's "just" a codename, I'd recommend changing it to something like "chauncey" or "bingaling" or "miss-bong" or "skidmark" or something.
