As I said, too many techbros without tact or life experience on this site. Geneticists moved away from silly names because physicians found that mothers who had just given birth to a severely disabled child did not take the silly names well. It's one thing to work in fly genetics and another to be talking to a parent whose child has a mutation in the human homolog.
This is actual experience from clinicians working in genetic counseling.
I am still embarrassed for you.
