(full geek mode enabled: the band name is even spelled identically, including the bang: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap! - Given that Jens Mönig, like the band, is German, here's hoping that the name is a tribute)
We were very happy with the name BYOB, but we had a few teachers tell us very insistently that they could never use a language called that with kids. Those of you who live in civilized countries can't appreciate Americans' lack of a sense of humor. So we were looking for a reasonably short name for which the ___.berkeley.edu domain was available, and Snap was what we found.
That said, I feel a bit dumb right now, but can you (or anyone, really) elaborate what's funny and/or sensitive about the name BYOB? I really can't figure it out. It seems like just an abbreviation to me.
Bring your own beer, and since alcohol is Evil™ anywhere even remotely associated with children...

I think the Object Oriented version of Snap! should be called "Snap! Snap!" instead of "Snap!++".
Great minds snap alike! (That man's nuts: grab 'em! Woo hoo!)
