I am so sick of everything having a cute name. Projects can have a cute name; components should not. Imagine if cars did this.
You'd get into your car, and it can have a cute name because it's one name to remember and your car can just be a "Jetta", but the "steering wheel" should be called that. Otherwise you can't go anywhere because you're not sure if you should chauffage the afiafi before you cosmo the thanos.
chauffage: french for "warm"
afi afi: samoan for "motor"
cosmo: from the Jetson's Cosmo Spacely, maker of sprockets
thanos: no logic whatsoever, I just like the movie (and a bit of whimsy is cute, right?) --good luck trying to figure out what it refers to, I'll probably be gone from the company by the time anyone notices
People complain that naming things is hard, but I argue that it's hard if you don't have a good understanding of what the thing is.
