… unless your first language is very different from Esperanto. It really does sound weird. I already imagine trying to sell this at my $DAYJOB (I would likely have to "fork" it myself just to replace a few strings in the codebase that mention the original name).

What does it sound like in your language?

Nothing bad or unpleasant, It just sounds very foreign and hard to pronounce. When I hear it (in my head), the first thing that comes to mind is some sort of a hairy middle-aged male character in a Spanish soap opera.
Doesn't really matter for me personally, but very much does matter in a work context. People have already had trouble with calling Gitea by its proper name and just calling it 'git'.

Even with a language close to Esperanto (French) it’s hard to pronounce, and not very catchy.
Honestly using an Esperanto word is a bit uninspired and mediocre.
