Better than using a distinct name for a mostly-identical project or effort (looking at you, MariaDB).

"MariaDB is named after Widenius' younger daughter, Maria. (MySQL is named after his other daughter, My.)" (Wikipedia)

(No insult intended to Maria or Michael, it's a lovely name in itself.)

Are you suggesting that they should have used a name that might lead Oracle to sue them instead of being clearly differentiated?
