I wonder if there are any projects named Dahomey. Or British Bechuanaland. Or perhaps French Guinea?
PS: I'm originally from Sri Lanka, which used to be Ceylon under British rule. I'm sure it's a wonderful project, but a bit silly (not to mention exploitive since they even use an elephant in the logo) to name it after a colonial name a lot of people struggled to get rid of.
