I'm just gonna say it: unless I had a specific reason to use it, I would cross CockroachDB off my list purely based on the name. I don't want to be thinking of cockroaches every time I use my database. Names do have meaning, and I have to wonder why they went with that one.

"CockroachDB gets its name from cockroaches, as they are known for being disaster-resistant.[5]"
