It's hard to come up with good names for software projects. I agree, some are silly, but goatee seems pretty OK.

I have an unreleased template system, also written in Go, named goatee.

I choose it because I thought it was a nice riff on moustache.

English is not my first language, so it might be because of that, but... I can't see any connection between "goatee" and "moustache", neither in spelling nor pronunciation. With "goatse", on the other hand...

(The connection there is that mustache is an existing templating system, and goatee is another kind of facial hair)

A goatee is a style of facial hair.

For me, it made this link stand out. I was thinking "am I so tired, or did Goatse-inspired something just got to the frontpage of HN?".

With dogecoins being all the craze this days, I wouldn't even be much surprised...
