I had a project named Pythia as well in my previous company. It was a prediction service and I needed a name that was related to predicting future, hence I chose the name of Oracle of Delphi. I am guessing that's where even Facebook got the name from. The name was so bad that no one got the reference. I changed the git repo to Sybill, alas that also never clicked. Edit: was supposed to be a reply to `davrosthedalek`

Sybill Trelawny?

  Yeah. Trelawney is more recognisable but doesn't have the same catch.

    Oh, I thought it was the Cumaean Sybil. But I guess that is where Trelawney's name comes from.

      Didn't know about her. Learned something new. :)

I made a prediction service called Pythia in 2009. It's not exactly an obscure name.

  Not obscure but certainly not well known as well. Most are aware about the Oracle but not the name. PS your name sounds Greek so it would definitely be more known in your circle I guess.
