Is there a reason that the main board is a feather and the daughter boards are wings? I would have expected 1 wing to have many feathers, not the other way around.

"Featherwing" is a bit more unambiguous to google than "Wingfeather"[0] at this point. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wingfeather_Saga https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wingfeather_Saga

  if you want to be extra confused, look at the HalloWing: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3900 https://www.adafruit.com/product/3900 https://www.adafruit.com/product/4300 https://www.adafruit.com/product/4300 it's a feather mainboard, but with the 'wing' nomenclature.

They've had the feather boards for a while but not the wings. After they needed to expand the brand, they were probably a bit limited in choices by the original name

  And "vane" and "barb" just don't sound as nice as "wing".
