This reminds me somewhat of the original name of JavaScript's Karma test runner: Testacular.
I didn't particularly mind the name, although it was kind of puerile. What I did increasingly mind is that every time I googled for it Google would come back with, "Did you mean testicular cancer?" (yes, really - this is not something I'd choose to joke about) and then show me results for that until I clicked through what it thought was the misspelled alternative.
That became rather tedious in fairly short order, and I suppose you could argue the name was in rather poor taste (though I was never particularly bothered), so I was immeasurably relieved when the team running the project chose to rename it to Karma.
I don't tend to get too bent out of shape about names in general since it's something of a programmer/engineer trope to occasionally use let's say more characterful names for projects and symbols and whilst there's a time and a place I'd hate to see it go away entirely.
