Take Rust the game and Rust the programming language. How often do people confuse them? I’ve never seen it happen. Never mind the fact that rust
is also a compound that forms when iron combines with oxygen.
In my book, it’s better to come up with a name that makes sense or is memorable as long as it’s not very confusing.
