What an unfortunate name... I can only imagine telling a young kid he uses "Doo Doo Linux"

I'm not an English native speaker and I don't live in an English speaking country so I may miss something. Doo Doo sounds fine to me, very childish.

    Thanks. Yeah, let's say it's a choice that risks undervaluing the product ;-)

  Childish is an ironic way to describe it. :) It is a term that only small children use, but almost all American children at least know what it means even if they don't say it all the time. I just realized that it's strange that there would be a slang term only used by children, but that remained in use by generation after generation of children over a period of at a minimum 50 years but probably much longer. I'm not a parent, but I suspect that it's a word used by American parents during potty training, hence its longevity.

    It is not strange at all. Some languages have a whole way of speaking only used by children.

    Kids here are still telling the exact same jokes kids were telling each other 45 years ago. Why would only adults have lasting memes?

Doudou [1] is French for a kid's favorite, day and night, bring everywhere teddy bear. You can see further francophone influence in the use of SPIP (the CMS used for the website). [1] http://dictionnaire.reverso.net/francais-anglais/doudou http://dictionnaire.reverso.net/francais-anglais/doudou

  But in English, a "Doo-doo" is one of a kids favourite pass times before they are capable of doing much other than drinking milk and sleeping. If Google "doo doo", and you get a lot of pictures of excrement (NSFW, probably).

    You should bring that to the attention of the developers.

      No, it's well known in British English too. I don't speak American English.

You never know... sometimes that will pique a child's curiosity. They are easily charmed by bodily noises and toilet humor!
