Is anyone else a little tired of "fun" team/repository names, or am I a buzzkill?

I've come to see naming things as almost the primary act of any project - like all things it can fail in a number of ways, pointless/capricious/snarky/boring/soul-corroding (like some acronyms omggggg). In fact the name almost entirely reflects the ethos/pathos of project in an uncanny mirror. Since you end up saying and hearing the name 8000 times a day, seeing it in event titles and email headers and project proposals and presentations and on and on and on that name will burn itself in your mind until you writhe in your sleep about it, it is of utmost, even primary importance to find a name that is parsimonious with the project. I will go so far as to say you can tell before it even starts if the project will succeed entirely by the name alone. You know everything you need to know about that project, especially in the context of the ecosystem of other project names that everyone is using all the time. Maybe a mild exaggeration.... maybe not. The names that succeed in my experience are a couple things: \* thoughtful in a way that you can form a connection between the name and what the project is, in a way that even illuminates the overall implicit motive force of the project (I actually have a great example I can't share currently.... so it goes). \* generate a lasting satisfaction (not just immediate "fun") when you have to hear/see/think/live/feel/immerse in the name day in and day out. This is intangible in a way that becomes undeniable as layers of impressions accumulate over time. I kind of think of it like seasoning food: you aren't seasoning for each bite as much as the overall lasting sensation of the meal - same principle. \* exhibit the same sincerity of character (I experience this as a kind of ringing tone of truth) as the wild beasts of earth as they roam thriving in their native environments. I wish you the best of luck as you navigate the fantastical and treacherous landscape generated by the interactions between names and reality - there is no one path, there is no right path, you must reevaluate every day and seek the inspiration where it strikes. May your reality be buoyed by your nomenclature, and you are not instead lost in the dark labyrinths of contorted misnomers like so many forgotten souls before us - even among us now.
