On the topic of brand, I always read "tarsnap" as "tarsnip" - like a parsnip.
I think I get the name (unix `tar` plus a snapshot or securely locked in). It's not lack of familiarity - I've known about it for years, and even have an account.
I doubt you're keen on a name change, but "tarlock" would avoid this.
Or... a parsnip as a logo.
