Especially as, if it were just "In celebration of the 125th anniversary of the birth of Vladimir Nabokov", you'd have thought that something like Pale Fire would be a better choice of name for a tech product. Partly because of all the references to it in Blade Runner 2049, but also because Pale Fire is just a much, much cooler name in general.
