I had a project[1] that was named after a Pokemon. It was a mustache[2] parser so I named it Entei because he has a very fashionable mustache. I changed the name[3] to chevron because I didn't want to deal with Nintendo's lawyers.

If you're worried about lawyers, why change it to the name of one of the largest companies in the world?

Chevron is also a generic dictionary word. (A line or stripes as an inverted V). Its used on military uniforms.

And the term "chevron" was used in the game starship titanic, where I learned its meaning.

Because giant international oil companies' lawyers are famously a pushover compared to Nintendo's...?
