Author here. I know not everybody loves the name. If I was trying to sell it I might be concerned about that. But it's open-source, and I'm not trying to make any money off of it, just trying to give something back to the community.
I was originally trying to name it something serious-sounding and I quickly found out that pretty much everything decent is taken. And even if you can come up with a good name that's not already in use by three other projects, good luck getting a decent domain for it.
I'm also a musician, and I've been through the drama of trying to come up with band names many times in the past. Here's what I've learned: the name matters, but only so much. If people like a band, they're gonna listen no matter how dumb the name is. Do you think Metallica is actually a good name? How about Def Leppard? Lynyrd Skynyrd? The Beatles? Those names are kinda stupid and nobody cares, lol.
Same thing with software. If the product is good, people will use it, and they are not going to care much about the name. I think Luxury Yacht is better than some made-up word that doesn't mean anything but maybe has some vague connection with kubernetes if you squint at it just right, like a magic eye puzzle.
Just my opinion, though. I'm not wrong, and you're not wrong, we just think about things differently, and that's OK!
Personally, I would like the name to be somehow related to the system. When I'm facing a stack of names and icons, make it easy for me.
Names without some connection to the thing are just more difficult. Maybe the name isn't descriptive - you can only have some many versions of ed, edit, edt, vedit, gedit, zed... I'm perfectly happy with puns and jokes - eric can be connected to (monty) python. It's the connection that makes it memorable. Even yacc and grep have some connection to the program.
I've been using Vivaldi browser for a while now, but neither the name nor icon have formed a natural connection to browsing for me. Same with Lazarus (an IDE), no obvious link (worse, it's nothing to do with raised from the dead). But "Bluefish Editor" at least tells me what it does, not a full description, but plenty.
