Mastodon looks like “master-dom” or “masto(urba…) dom” or similar. I also have experience with people giving a weird eye when I mention the name, it’s not pen island or anything but it’s close enough to have caused nonzero issues.

If people are giving you a weird eye over the name Mastodon, I would say it has much more to do with them than with the nane.
