Someone should create a fork with work-safe name. CockroachDB brings connotation of cockroaches, who are known by eating almost everything and living almost everywhere.

- geoka9 8y ago> known by eating almost everything and living almost everywhere Good attributes for a DB though?
- drodgers 8y agoThat's the idea though — your data will be hard to kill.

- danellis 8y agoI have to admit, the name does set me on edge slightly. shudder
- ofrzeta 8y agoIn their presentation they have it abbreviated as CRDB, so that might be a viable direction without pain.

- mlevental 8y agoyou know what's ironic? that in every thread there's one of you people complaining about the name - you're all just like cockroaches! no matter how successful cockroachdb becomes, no matter how technically impressive the product becomes, the naysayers never die. can you imagine 20 years ago someone complaining that google wasn't safe for work because it had a silly name? newsflash dummy: stop saying/thinking/repeating stupid things like this and it'll stop being the case that everyone is so conservative that silly names are inadmissible.
- accnumnplus1 8y agoThere's also the irony in their name - anticensor.
- h1d 8y agoThat attitude does not fly with your boss. Why limit the adoption for no good reason by choosing a weird name intentionally?
- mlevental 8y agodo you not understand perpetuation? "doesn't fly with my boss" ---> "won't fly when I'm boss". also how about having a conversation on the merits? does that fly with your boss? does with mine.
