Yes, my tablet has Contacts (icon: a blue figure on a white background), and then it has Contacts (icon: a white figure on a blue background), depending on which tech firm I want to spy on my social relationships.

> It can go too far the other direction too, for example the generic names like Files

The worst is when an application's display name is different from its actual name. Like on my MATE desktop it took me years to fully internalize that “Files” is actually `caja` if I want to invoke it from a terminal. At least Nautilus was a type of shell lol

Probably meaningful in another language. For instance it means "box" in Spanish, or in the language of the Pali Tipitaka it means "giving up".
