I think the goal of the name is to be catchy and interesting so that people want to learn more about it and engage with it.
I have to agree w this as i’m an example of someone who was intrigued enough by the moloch references to dive into the topic
having the people who are promoting the product to the audience chime in does make the most sense imo
naming, and language in general, is fundamentally an effort to define things in ways that infer meaning so those things can be understood.
even if normal words were used for the naming, understanding the word and its background has nothing to do with understanding the underlying mechanisms behind the concepts at hand, so documentation will be there and will be referred to by people engaging with these systems either way
i DO think we should avoid any kind of political, religion, ethnicity, country related terminology.
I agree with the purpose or sentiment behind this view, but I wouldn’t really call using related terminology for naming one feature within a whole system that has a bunch of different features associating the organization with any specific movement or political / religious views at hand
