Well, I think when friendfeed developers were writing tornado they didn't mean to opensource it or even talk about it in public, so they went for the name "Tornado". I agree that documentation is really important in Open Source, and so is finding the documentation. Googling for such a generic names makes things hard. Considering all the hype Tornado got recently the homepage is not still listed in the first 5 pages of Google's results for "Tornado". So I think it's a good advice to think twice (or thrice) before naming your next project.
