personally, my biggest name-related gripe is ungoogleableness.
I often browse google for solutions, but I miss a lot of interesting, popular, relevant blogs when the project name is a common noun utterly unrelated to the project. I recognise naming is difficult, but it makes it hard to find popular, interesting, relevant blogs when I have to swim though the mass of web pages that use the common noun.
Sometimes I wish more projects would call themselves FRP20x14qq77aciq or something approaching uniqueness. Almost like 0x10c. At least until we get some semantic tags to say "and I mean something to do with programming and definately not anything to do with what this common noun means 99.9999% of the time".

- timothybone 14y agoUntil someone calls it just bacon. Inevitable.
- jamesbritt 14y agoWhich will then be confused with the Ruby testing library. At least there the naming sort of makes sense. Spec sounds like Speck, which is German for bacon (sort of).
