Any idea what the story is behind that name? I feel like it will be off putting to some people.

I am not agreeing with it, but just trying to get people to use anything other than the status quo when it comes to software/apps... If it has an odd name, they are less likely to use it.

Firefox was similar back in the mid 2000s.
