I didn't point it out because it was funny-ha-ha, but because it's a teachable example of a linguistic mis-step that could be easily resolved by diversifying your reviewers - in this case, since you mention it, perhaps a native English speaker?
I'm not even suggesting that this project needs a new name - although I think if they were naming a consumer-facing product or company, someone in marketing would push back on the name almost immediately.
