In all seriousness, naming your product after something established and in existence ensures I am going to never be able to find it again thanks to modern SEO practices. I remember in the 90s and early 2000s everyone named their product after a non English word as a rule to make it easy to trademark your product and for customers to search it out against common words. Today, everything is just some random clever English word. There is even a restaurant in my neighborhood called "Milk" now, the madness is overwhelming.

I'd agree with you, but searching for "thc github" right now on Google at least shows me this project on 7th place in the search results, even if the repository is relatively young.

I'm sure you can do something similar by adding "Milk + $city" or "Milk + $street-name" to your other example.

There's a pretty good Danish music group who called themselves "The White Album", which sounds like a decent band name.

They've been operating since 2011. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_Album_(band)

They are incredibly difficult to find online because when you search for them the first who knows how many results are for, you guessed it, The Beatles' White Album.

FYI if anyone’s interested, there’s a network login hacking tool called THC Hydra that’s been around forever.
