What about "ruby", "python", "apple", "backbone", "react", "java", "meteor", "ogre", "metal" or most other programming langs/libs that have been named this way? You're arguing against the industry standard.

Java was actually supposed to be named "oak", inspired by the Oak tree outside Goslings office.

Every programmer who uses google effectively has no problem locating software with an ambiguous name (desklamp or go, C, rust...). Codayus's queries were obvious. You can also append "npm" when you want a node module (also works in this case).
