Software developers who love their job generally are into fantasy worlds, RPG games, astronomy and whatnot. If we nitpick every name choice, then life will have no fun.
I have computers named after stars and galaxies. Some codenames of the applications I have developed myself has stupid connections to characters because of what they (the software) do are similar to characters themselves. I named a module "Scrat" because it was a state machine which changed thousands of states per second according to input it received from a file I/O module called Manfred (which carries things on his back or with its trunk).
I have my names clash with others, and others' names clash with mine. Who cares, it's fun and makes things enjoyable for everyone, plus it allows one to inspire themselves by setting a vision for their software.
Or, maybe we should start naming our software with UUID strings. That won't clash in a long time. :D
