On: Names should be cute, not descriptive

[wlonkly]

Some of those have companies attached, which have interests in a unique, memorable, and protectable name. Others are definitely just cute though.

That said, I have to object to including linkerd. It links services together, and it's a daemon. Can't get much clearer than that.

The problem with linkerd is that we already use the word "linker" and have an established nomenclature for adding a "d" to indicate a daemon. While linkerd might be a daemon, it's not a linker daemon.
