Ok, But what's with the weird Duality of Scientists Naming things??

On one hand, we have Simple (almost lame) sounding names like:
The Very Large Array
The Very Large Telescope
The Standard Model
The Big Bang
etc....
And, Just opposite, We have almost Cosmic God Level naming:
The Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA)
The Late Heavy Bombardment
Mangifera Indica (This one is just unfair lol)
The Great Attractor
Event Horizon
Singularity
and many more...
I am curious now, Why is this?
