Yeah, I too am tired of projects named mean-ly. Git, dolt, LAME, Gimp... DWARF is borderline, even if it has historical reasons (being based on ELF) it's not nice to hear out of context.
Even if it's a joke on yourself, just like, why would you give anyone who hasn't heard of your project the idea that it might be mean?
You wouldn't name your pet Dumbass. Why your pet project.
A bit off topic, but at summer camp many years ago, a counselor looked over my shoulder while I was using GIMP, and said something like "that's a sick joke". And that's how I learned about BDSM.
