There's ample precedent for this. When you're building something to scratch an itch, the name is secondary. You cast about for one. Ah, you have a name. That'll do.
For example, DJ Delorie's djgpp project, built in 1989, was how I got into "real" programming on MS DOS.
For example, Debian. AWK. PKZIP. ARJ. Korn shell. Bourne shell. jemalloc, dlmalloc. djbdns.
I don't have to imagine.
"Linux".
dlmalloc, jemalloc
I'm biased (see: pianojacq.com)

Every single .exe file begins with the two letters MZ because Mark Zbikowski needed a "magic number" to begin the PE format.
