Me too, my first thought .. 000FFF is blue not B&W.
Names: Zyp, love it; Metallica, very masculine and "metal" perfectly 80s, hard edged; Flickr defines web-2.0 naming, was it the first, it's a better name than Flicker IMO regardless of the reason for the choice.
In the commnets "I’m not any less of an entrepreneur because my name is Joe. " - except that introductions would be a lot harder if your name was something unpronouncable, maybe a series of clicks (Khosa (sp?)) or something that sounds like swearing in your propositions native language.
IMO names matter a lot and no amount of interface will fix a bad name. A terrible name on the other hand you can work for ironic advantage.

I am aware of that. I'm merely putting forward an alternative explanation, which, in my opinion, is more plausible than that, considering the site's title.
