You need to get over it. Discussing origins of internal nicknames for projects/hardware items is probably fun but leads to little or no advancement in understanding what it is going really to be. Like at my current employer a part of a project I'm working on was called 'bluebox' at some distant point just because it had no name and in an architecture diagram corresponding software component was shown in a blue box to demonstrate what is needed to be implemented. Go figure, 'Bluebox' project!
You've clearly never read or watched Dilbert and therefore have no idea just how critical a project name really is for the customer to be impressed and interested.
Dogbert: As you probably know, all the good product names have been trademarked by companies who are competent.
Wally: Competent? How are we going to compete with that?
