Have you ever tried telling your boss that you're going to use "The Gimp" to
design the new corporate logo?

And then there's the saga of Mozilla a.k.a. Firefox a.k.a. Iceweasel or

And of course there's "don't say OpenOffice" OpenOffice.org.

Whatever the marketing people tell you, software names really just don't
matter much.
