It would be fun to have a list of projects that contrived the reasoning after choosing the name.
The DNF package manger always springs to my mind when naming comes up. Originally it didn't stand for anything, despite the use of DNF in sports to denote "Did Not Finish" (hardly a great connotation for most software). Though it appears to have since been coined as "Dandified YUM".
